Some Stories.........

I will leave names out but I want you all to really try and understand what all God is doing in people's lives up here. Mine, especially.

I have had some great times with my Father since being here.....since being in a place in my life to fully rely on Him! I have been put in situations that I never thought I would have been in or around. I would like to share some of those with you.

On average we could have about 20 youth coming to our Gatherings on Wednesday night. None of them have bibles. Most of them don't know all the books in the bible, most of them don't know what Philippians 3:7 means......that the 3 is the chapter of the book of Philippians and that the 7 is the verse. Cham was priviledged enough to see one of our youth (18 years old) open his very own bible for the first time........FIRST TIME!

We have a family that has just purchased their very own first bible and she is my age. On her way home she cradled her bible like a baby in her hands. She understands how precious this book is and just wants to learn more. There are some people back home that probably have 5 bibles in their homes that they don't even take to church.

Speaking of church. The magic cabinets and endless supplies of EVERYTHING.......not up here. If we need something......there is no room of endless resources. We have youth that don't have bibles. Bibles are expensive and we don't have the funds to buy our people bibles. This other family went out and got bibles for the whole family. The young boy was so excited about his that he wanted to take it to school!!

The thirst of people who don't know God or haven't yet experienced the right relationship with Him is an eye-opening experience. I have to know what I am talking about and be able to share my experiences with Him as well. Some folks up here can't even say 'my walk with Christ' out loud.....around other people. I used to be that way. I didn't know how to share anything about God.......because I wasn't living fully for Him......I wasn't working on my relationship with Him in order for Him to give me the strength and confidence to share about His gracious love!

This is random.....but that's me. Only a few times has the thought crossed my mind....am I where God wants me to be and so many times He shows me that I am. I didn't grow up in church knowing the stories of the bible or the father Abraham song. I still don't know ALL the stories in the bible......and that's it. God has me in a place where I HAVE to rely on His word.....on Him!

There is so much more that I just can't put on this website. In all honesty not really sure that I can tell everyone about but if you would like to know more just give me a call or drop me a line in email. And we will leave it at that...................

Take care! Love~~~
