Greetings sisters in Christ!
How is your day or evening going? We are doing well! It's been raining most of the day so we decided to just park all afternoon and evening and stick out the rain until tomorrow. With the dampness and chilly temps it makes it pretty cold so we dug out the little heaters, put up the blankets on the door and windows and were all set up for the duration of the evening, working online ministry. It was getting pretty cozy as the heaters tried to outdo the cold air.
And then...
We heard it.
That dreaded sound.
I looked up at brother Jim and said 'OH NO!!!!!"
The lights flickered.
The heaters turned off.
And it went dark.
The generator ran out of gas :-(
So we took down the window coverings and brother Jim started the van.
We are now all cozied back up in the van, finishing our ministry work.
That's my attempt at trying to capture the moment with my lack of drawing skills:-)
We just roll with what happens in life and always being on the move helps us kill our flesh in this area. It takes it's toll and if we're not careful we get run down just like the mother with many children, the wife with a difficult husband, the woman working many hours at a job etc. We must make sure we all take time to refuel lest we run out of gas like our generator.
Praise God He can fill us back up and give us what we need, if we turn to Him.
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:13
Nobody has a life without burdens and issues, we all have something, just not all the same. Let us continue to encourage one another, pressing us all on to the prize of eternity with the Father, if we endure in the saving faith, until the end.
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
We love the saints worldwide and pray that you all strive on, pressing through, being victorious with the help of the Lord!
Peace and blessings,
Sister Deb
