Arkansas Update

Just a quick update!

I'm in Arkansas right now - spending time with grandparents. My travels have been going well!

I didn't have any meetings this past weekend, but Lord willing, I'll be heading up to MO for a meeting this coming Sunday! It's supposed to be raining and storming all weekend, so please pray for safe travels!

I've enjoyed being able to spend time with family down here! I even was able to go to the Arkansas symphony with my uncle and cousin :) That was a special night!

Also, I'm looking into planning a trip to Sweden for the month of September! It will be a further chance for me to work on the language more intensively, to better learn my way around the area there in Jönköping, and to get involved in the ministry in whatever way I can. Please be in prayer as I work on the details for the trip. I'm definitely excited about it!

I'm including some pics - some from my time in KS with friends, and some from here in AR.

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.

You know you've been in your car too long when...

You walk to your car and think, "There's no place like home!"
You can take down a phone message while driving.
You keep a blanket handy for an occassional nap in the front seat (NOT while driving - in case anyone was getting concerned!)
You start carrying on conversations with your car.
You start thinking up ways of redecorating.
You vacuum your car more often than you do your own room at home.
You find yourself often using the front seat of your car as an office - making phone calls, doing paperwork, etc. (Even keeping a box of office supplies handy in the front seat!)
