Dear Family &
Friends~
Christmas greetings from our family to yours!
We are so thankful for 3 amazing facts this Christmas season:
#1. God is Who HE says
He is and we can know Him and love Him!
#2. He is in CONTROL of
every part of our lives, no matter how things may look!
#3. We can fully trust
and follow Him wherever He leads us, knowing that He will NEVER fail us!
As most of you know,
our family has been in full TRUST mode since He called us to move to Hobe
Sound, Fl. 3 yrs ago. There have been many times when we did not know how we
were going to pay a certain bill or even buy groceries or gas, BUT God came
thru every time! He trained us to begin to rely on Him during these times AND
as He has called us to serve and minister in Grande Riviere du Nord, Haiti. He
brought us thru 9 months of Deputation and almost 5 months of living in
Carrefoure, Haiti for language school.
This past summer we went thru the scariest moments of our lives when
Caleb fell and suffered a concussion. We really thought we were going to lose
him. But God touched him and his accident lead us to discover that he has a
rare nerve disease called, neurofibromitosis. (You can read the full story on
our blog: www.flowersbloomingforjesus.blogspot.com (July 2013)
God’s peace, grace and
strength have been available and evident throughout this whole ordeal and we
give Him praise and glory for all He has done! We thank each of you for your prayers and
support! You will never know how much it has meant!
Lord willing, we plan to move to Haiti this
next month to began ministering at our orphanage/church/school in Grande
Riviere. God has helped us to re-new our children’s passports and worked it out
for another team to do more work on our house (Our house is not finished but it
is coming along. Pray that God will supply the needed funds to get it finished
out. Thank-you!)
We look at this fresh, new year, realizing,
that many challenges and blessings are waiting for us as we learn to live in
Haiti. Because of the 3 amazing facts we shared at the beginning of this letter
we know that we can boldly go where God is leading our family! He is already
there and He has all the grace, help and strength we will need and we choose to
continue fully trusting Him. The best part is that every one of His children
can claim and carry these amazing facts into 2014! We challenge you to choose to trust, obey and
follow Him in this coming year! You will
never regret it!
Merry Christmas Blessings!
