Kind of a quite week as I am just trying to fix the
old Beast again. Yip its up and running again and I took it apart and started
to clean it and not the task of putting it together again. It’s a wonderful
time for us here in Siem Reap and we are blessed with some nice weather, which
is a blessing this time of the year, where dust and smoke is all we get. Seems
that we have so much more energy when it’s cool.
The boys are doing well in school. Anton is a real
darling coming home every day and so good in sitting down and does his homework
on the computer. Gideon is having few good days again and mum is slaving away
with school. According to Gideon, Toinette’s religion is,school,hahahaha Toinette
is enjoying giving extra classes to her lovely students and come home and tell
the sweetest stories about children that is really doing well. I was sharing to
a friend that this is the miracles we are holding onto. Continue to pray for us
as a family to most of all trust in God for everything in our lives.
Good friends of ours came all the way from Phnom
Pehn and we are really having a good time talking about things we love. Good to
have same-minded people around us and talk about what we do here. I think that
is what all missionaries are struggling with is, having close friends nearby to
share with. Pray that we as fellow missionaries will not judge others for what
they are doing and how much they are doing for the Kingdom. We come in a rut so
quickly of thinking that we are the only ones that do things the right way.
Pray that we will reach out to more people and rather encourage than judge.
Continue to pray for:
Nic and Elaine Haydon in England. She is struggling
with cancer.
Fe and her family in the Philippines. For her
ongoing treatments of chemo.
Ben and Hannah in Thailand. They are awaiting the
birth of their first born.
Reading this devotion with the boys:
Saved Through Faith-Ephesians 2:4-10
It’s by grace you’ve been saved through
faith.
It’s when we realize we’re messy and we
need someone to come clean up our mess that we see God’s work in our lives.
When we put our faith in Him and we believe that Jesus came to clean up our
mess, that's when we're saved from our sins.
We don’t earn being saved. It’s not a
reward for being good. We don’t need to clean ourselves up first. God sent His
Son, Jesus, to die for those who don’t have it together, who are a mess, who
know they sin. All we need to do is put our faith in God. Jesus takes our messy
problems on Himself so that we can live our lives free from them. That way, we
can start to live for the good things that God planed for us to do in this
life.
Do you need God to save you from your
messiness? If so, confess that to Him right now, put your faith in Him, and
know that you’re forgiven. Once you’ve done that, it’s time to see what He has
in store for your life and to live out the faith you now have.
May this week be a blessed week for you all
Love
