The Lord's Day...

It is a wonderful day; it is the Lord’s Day. All honor and glory are directed to Jesus Christ this day. I am so blessed to be in a community where there is evidence of the Lord’s presence. I haven’t been able to venture out much, but can tell from the two churches we have visited that they are faithful and are loving of Christ. Today the devotion was directed to turning all the worries and anxieties over to God for he wants to take all the problems in our lives away; he wants to be a blessing to us; he wants us to succeed in life. Philippians 4:19 is a key verse, because God will meet all the needs that we have. We must have faith as a child in all that we do and say. When we allow Jesus to come into our lives, he will help the blessings to overflow from out lives.

Yesterday went so very well. We got the opportunity to rest and chill and then we hit it hard. We were able to get all the material down for summer from the attic. We all made great progress in getting everything inventoried. It was an amazing feeling to have that down. I even got the work project boxes set up for the 1^st week. Now I need to tackle the paint and get all that inventoried. I can’t believe we have gotten this far in this short of time. We have been very blessed. Today is Sunday and we are going to our home church. They are an Assembly of God congregation and are so friendly. I know it will be a blessing today. After church we are invited to a potluck dinner with all the fixings. The team seems to be coming together quit nicely and we are actually bonding with one another. We went through the “conflict” stuff last night and learned how everyone deals with conflict. The ladies said this morning that they actually dreamed about conflict last night. I think it is healthy to talk about things like this because this summer there will be times of conflict; it’s just the nature of humanity. If we can minimize conflict all the better. I’m looking forward to a great summer of growing in the Lord and building friendships and relationships with the people I serve with and the people that I love.

Every day I am thankful for Lee Ann and her encouragement. We are growing closer each and every day because our hope and trust is in the Lord and he is at the center of our relationship. I miss her terribly, but we are in this summer for a reason and I think it is to strengthen our friendship so we will rely on the Lord for everything that we do. So I thank God for our relationship and trust that he will form it and mold it into the relationship that he wants, not what we want.
