When we work, we work. When we pray, God works. – Hudson Taylor

Thank you for praying so that God can work!

Thank you for your prayers for a home!  God has provided a fully furnished home for us for no cost!  We plan to move our things to Salisbury this weekend and to move into another home in South Carolina before this weekend.

Please pray for a miracle for August.  We need a miracle to make it to North Carolina sooner.  Odds are stacked against us and it would be a complete miracle, but we are crazy enough to believe that the things that happened in the Bible can happen today and that God is in the miracle business!

Joshua asked the sun to stand still in Joshua chapter 10 and God granted his request.  Joshua probably thought the world was flat, and in all actuality the sun does not stand still, since the earth is what rotates.  But even in Joshua’s ignorance of science, God granted him what he asked because he believed that God was God of the earth (whether flat, round, or square), the sun, and everything else.

Please ask for the sun to stand still for us so we can march to our next assignment for God’s ministry.

These Francis Chan quotes are pumping me up!

“We’re not making waves,” says Chan, an avid surfer, “we’re just catching them.”

“I equate it to surfing. Sometimes I’m out in the ocean and there are no sets coming in. I really don’t want to paddle in, so I’ll pray, “God, give me one nice set, one good wave to take me back to shore.” I pray because I can’t make a wave and I can’t ask my friends to go further out and splash to create a wave. We’re powerless. That’s what I feel like in church. We think we can make waves, but in reality we’re totally dependent on the Spirit.”

If we could live this out, we would be unstoppable for the Kingdom of God!

This song gets me going!

On March 1, 2010 I am going to attempt to start reading the New Testament in 30 days.  This challenge and curriculum was founded and implemented by Elevation Church out of Charlotte, NC earlier this year.

What we need daily is a revelation from God!

Be strong in the Lord and never give up hope!
