life in the fast lane...

..."What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while, then vanishes."  James 4:14

 

i cannot believe how time flies... the girls have now been in country almost 7 months!! 

 

 

the Lord has been so patient with us all during this time of learning and growth. 

we finally have a schedule and everyone is settled in school (and like it :)

we were snuggling down into our new comfy normal when... God moved...!!

you ever notice how good God is at taking note of our complacent comforts?

 

just when i began to think

"whew?!?!? we are beginning to get this thing figured out...!"

i realized how little i knew :)

 

our life moves fast and it moves furious...but it is intentional and purposed!

there is no greater high than striving in my little "mist of time" on earth to

LOVE LIKE JESUS! 

every second of time that i have breath matters in the life of others if i choose it. 

 

so... God has rocked our existence and challenged us to the core, yet again...

 in our Family and For Life ministries!

 

small change... we will be opening our doors this Christmas

to the sweet Ukrainian girl that we met through the Krells... Yulia :)

arriving on December 19th!

 

 

and in ministry....we are continuing to grow our

Love One sponsorship program... now extending into Haiti.

 

we will be hosting our first event on Nov 2nd to love on our

love one families here in Madison county. 

 

thanks to the support of our home church Willowbrook

our Christmas projects for the year are:

we had our first shop "for life's purpose" to raise awareness this week...

we are just hanging on to God as He moves and marveling at His faithfulness!

it is full speed ahead and the adventure is miraculous!

 

i don't know how you are spending your "mist of time" here on earth...

but know that every second of it matters!
