If you are going through a situation that doesn't seem to be "lining up" to what you thought it would, just "keep holding on"! God has a PLAN! When His plan is fulfilled it will be beautiful.
I will be the first to admit that He surprises me from time to time, but, I do not want to grieve Him by questioning His will. He has always put the pieces of the puzzle together in my life, and yours, so just let Him work the puzzle. Our son, Andrew preached a message recently about the "tapestry of life". The title of his message was, "Everything's Gonna Be Alright". What a message! I just believe it's "gonna be alright"!
I am looking forward to our "new life" in Lufkin. I never thought I would ever be saying I would enjoy living in Lufkin! :) Most of my experiences in Lufkin, through the years, has been the "hot, HUMID, stifling" heat in the Summertime. During those weeks we would go to church, go eat, then back to the room or motorhome to stay cool. I have been assured that the whole year is NOT like that, so I trust those who have lived in this area. I know one thing.....when God calls you to do something for Him "everything will be alright".
Jonathan and I drove around yesterday looking at different areas to live in, and found some nice places. Of course, I will not buy another house until mine sells, so please pray that God will send the right people along to buy my house. It is a beautiful home and I will miss it, but I will find another one and enjoy it.
The Kingdom of God has many different areas in which to work. We love being with preacher's and their families. I am looking forward to "getting to know" the ministers and their wives in Texas. God has a lot of wonderful things in store for the Texas District! I believe we can all excel in the things of God. I just wonder what the next years have to hold for those who "come together in unity".
I really can't wait for June to arrive and Camp Meeting to get here. Then, after Camp Meeting, our camps start, young people arrive, and children come to "the old camp ground"! I have ALWAYS wanted to be on the camp ground for the month of June. I know it's HOT, but there is something about the electrifying excitement among those who gather that I enjoy. This year I plan to be there enjoying the fellowship with those who come to TEXAS CAMP MEETING! Preachers, PK's (of which I am proud to be one), saints, missionaries, guests from other states will all be here, and it's going to be a great time! Then, I can't wait to see the young people and children of Texas at the Youth Camps! TEXAS! I love it! I'm glad I'm part of it! LOL! Hey, I like that! Can we ALL say it together, now? LOL!
"TEXAS!!!! I LOVE IT! I'M GLAD I'M PART OF IT!"
"When we all pull together......how happy we'll be!"
