Hand Washing Clothes and a Rolling Home
Greetings sisters in Christ!
I just wanted to pop in here to send my love and thought I'd share a Titus 2 moment of washing clothes by hand:-) If anything it may bring a smile to you:-)
We are getting things done here on the land and looking to head out at some point in the near future, Lord willing, and I plan to take you all with us as we roll down the highways. I'll admit it again, it's nice in the flesh to take a break and live like normal people for a while, but we were called to something different and we need to be able to let go and 'go' to preach the GOSPEL. We can't be having our roots growing too deep as this life is not our own is it sisters? Are you in a place where you could let go of the life you live and have it totally turned upside down and not have it destroy your spiritual state? Beware as the Lord may do just that and we must be willing to pick up our cross and follow after Him regardless if we like the life He either takes away or gives.
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. (
Luke 9:23-26)
Be careful not to build so much of an earthly life around you that you are not ready for any change the Lord might do in yours. Painful as it may seem, He may call you to something else and through that will be a test of your faithfulness. We have found that in our life and I just want you prepared to not hold too tightly, this life we live as it's not ours but His.
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. (Ephesians 1:17-23)
Let us continue to go forth each day, living for eternity, not this earthly life.
Before I go I leave you with a video of a pileated woodpecker that came to visit the suet block.
March on sister saints.
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
