Changes

I dont' really like changes. You know, its more comfortable to settle down into a little nest, all safe and I where I feel in control of my world.

But where I feel safe and in control, may be the very worst place for me to be.

For there, I tend to trust me and my abilities.
There, I think I can manage to keep the wind from ruffling my feathers.

When God began taking us to a new level of trust Him, to lay down what seemed logical and rational,
we started to realize what "peace that passes all understanding" was.


And the journey continues.

Our move to Haiti was big, but we have this peace, this assurance, that we wouldn't be happier anywhere else.

We were a team with Preston and Apphia Breckbill,
working together for a common goel.
Things were going well, and even tho we knew that their term was up in Dec and they planned to go home then, we weren't anticipating them leaving early, and they didn't plan for her fathers illness to be the reason for leaving.


Pray for them as they fly today, and the changes they are facing.
They need to trust, rest, and adjust.

Pray for us as we are here "alone".
We need to trust, rest, and adjust.

"Overwhelm us God, with all that You can give. Overwhelm us, with Your power, Your strength,
Your sheltering hand. Overwhelm us with Your wisdom, and Your presence."

When my heart is overwhelmed Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I,
And may YOU overwhelm me. ~Carolyn Schrock
