We have just returned from a "quick trip" to Michigan, leaving Columbus at noon yesterday and arriving back again at noon today. Quick as it was, the middle was wonderful! Our friend Rob (HOW did we get out of there without getting ONE picture of us with Rob?? errrr...He IS the guy playing the piano in this next picture) invited us to speak at Argentine Church in Linden, Michigan last night, and also invited several other area churches to join us.
We had a GREAT time...were able to enjoy a few awesome meals with Rob, enjoyed meeting part of his family and a large portion of our Michigan family in Christ! It was such a blessing for us to get to meet many dear people who have great hearts for what God is doing...not just in Michigan, but in the world.
We were truly encouraged, and though there is a good level of craziness and stress involved with traveling and speaking, we have already felt the Lord restoring our hearts from a year of ministry in Haiti and encouraging our spirits through the men and women we have had the chance to speak already, just one week after returning home. He continues to use His children to affirm, confirm, encourage and support us, and we just feel so very blessed!
Lily was a champ, but praise the Lord for Grandpa, who came along with us and walked outside with her while she wailed during the entire presentation (7:00-9:00 pm is NOT prime Lily time :)
Tomorrow, Thursday, we leave for Wooster, OH to quickly celebrate our 4 year wedding anniversary, then Friday on to Somerset, PA and Saturday on to Cornerstone Church in Bear, Delaware!
The Ayars family certainly does not let any grass grow under their feet. It sounds like you are enjoying your time in the States, and I know God will continue to bless your time in this "Mission Field". Please travel safely.
ReplyDeleteI never knew Lily "wailed" about anything, thank goodness for Grandpas.
I am so looking forward to seeing all of you, it won't be long now.
Happy Anniversary!
My Love and God's blessings.
