Thank you for all of your many prayers these days! Leme and his wife are staying with us in our one-story home this week, and the message on Sunday truly planted that peace that passes understanding in my heart. Matt was able to share a similar message at Emmaus yesterday (along with some instructions on good earthquake practices), and classes and masters courses carry on, as does our worship!
I was particularly moved yesterday morning when I opened my Bible to finish off my reading of Isaiah, and the very first verse painted a picture that would never have been so powerful pre-earthquakes.
"Oh, that you would burst from the heavens and come down!
How the mountains would quake in your presence,
how your coming would make the nations tremble." Isaiah 64:1
The mountains ARE quaking, and we ARE in His sweet presence, and that is enough to have praise on our lips today and peace in our hearts today, and every day.
Thankful for a GOOD night's sleep for all eight of us last night, something that is eluding many, for your continued prayers.
We--our family, our friends, our students, our co-workers, Christ-followers through the world, broken and dark--rely on your faithful prayers, to bring us again and again before the throne, to encourage our faith and to hold us up in Christ.
