"All the Way My Savior Leads Me"

"Jesus led me all the way." These were the last words sung before I got up to give my testimony tonight at church in Sheridan, WY, and they had me suddenly a bit choked up. See, tonight was my last scheduled meeting on deputation - my last presentation - and the truth behind the song really grabbed me. Looking back on the past 3 1/2 plus years of traveling, and the years leading up to it, I can truly say that Jesus has led me all the way! What a blessing it is to know that God is leading in my life - every step, through good times and bad, over mountains and through the valleys. God is always with me. I can trust Him with my life - every aspect! Praise God for His faithful direction!
Jesus has led me all the way - and I know He will continue to lead me in the days ahead!
“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.
