Conference Blessings

What a great week! I had a wonderful time down at Heritage Baptist Church in Crown Point, IN for a Sunday-Thursday mission's conference! The meetings went so well - Evangelist Tom Palmer was the keynote speaker, and the messages were such a blessing: encouraging and challenging! I had a wonderful time visiting with the folks there and it was so refreshing to spend time with the other missionary families as well!
The week flew by in a flurry of activity! Besides the nightly services, there were also daily meals with church families, a wonderful ladies' luncheon, and group activities (including a visit to both a dairy farm and a candy factory!). I also had the opportunity to go with Pastor Peterson and his wife to visit one of their shut-ins. I also handed out countless balloon animals to the kids - they really seemed to like that! :) I loved the interaction with them!

Now I am in the Chicago area - staying with family. I'll be watching my cousin for a few nights this next week while my aunt and uncle get away for a little vacation :)

Well, I hope you have a great night!
And may our minds be focused on our RESURRECTED Savior this Easter holiday! Praise God for the wonderful gift of His Son - and for the salvation which He offers so full and free!

“To be a missionary you don't have to cross the sea, you just have to see the cross."

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.
