Chilly Illinois

Greetings from a chilly Illinois :) I have to say the weather here has been quite fluctuating as of late! The other day it was in the 40's (Yaaaa! Get to ditch the winter coat!) and today it is below zero with windchills down to around -20 to -25 degrees!
It's kinda funny, though! I'm staying with my grandparents right now, and this morning I ran out to the barn to feed the cats. My hair was still a little damp from my shower, and the air was so cold it froze my hair! Needless to say, the next time I went out, I remembered to put on my hat!

I have had a great week down here! I've been helping out a supporting church (Bethany Baptist Church of Altona, IL) this week with some computer entry, etc. It has been nice to be able to spend the time with my grandparents as well :)

I'll be here in Altona for church tomorrow, and then on Monday I'll be heading up to Janesville, WI to talk to a class at a Christian School there. I'm really looking forward to that! I was supposed to be there a little over a week ago, but the school got cancelled because of the bitter cold. I'm glad it worked to reschedule!

Then, Lord willing, I'll be off to Minnesota a week from today! Please pray for good safety - and good weather!

Thanks for your prayers!
Keep warm!

When the Rains Descend

When the Rains Descend
Go ahead and grab your umbrella, because in life, there will be times when you journey through the storms. You see, in this world in which we live, the rains will fall. That is a guarantee. Trials will come - and they are going to come to everyone. Just because you are a Christian, don't think for a moment that life is going to be easy. There will still be pain, sorrow, and heartache. The good news, however, is that, as a Christian, you do not have to weather these storms alone. You have a solid foundation in Christ.

When the Rains Descend is a collection of poems written to be an encouragement to you as you face the downpours of life. May you rest in the Lord and grow closer to Him day by day.
