What does the Lord require of me?


What does The Lord require of me?

I guess it's hard to face that question for any of us. It's been especially hard for me lately. I just wanted to give into the flesh. I want my old life back....my church, family and friends I hold so dear, the family life we used to have, my house and flowers.:) God, I just want it back now I kept saying. 

For any of the rest of you, He has not called you in the same way that he has for our family. But I know He has, is and will be calling you all in maybe a different way.

This stronghold has been baring down on me for a couple months now especially. But I will admit, it's a never-ending battle on the mission field. For us anyway. But somebody's been praying, probably a lot of you. He has asked me not to focus on those things I've been desiring, but to understand that He's called me to this service for Him. He promises that He will be with me, and I need to be obedient. God does not promise that everywhere he calls us to walk will be easy. But He does ask each one of us to follow him and to help fulfill our #1 calling-to spread the gospel by helping others know more of this wonderful Jesus. In Haiti, it seems to be more helping others to understand the gospel in a real way and his sacrifice for them. Most of them already know who Jesus is, their view of following Christ is twisted. 

This is one way we ask you to pray. Especially in the next couple weeks....
We will be having a youth seminar in the church we support here @ IFM on July 23-28. Satan has and will be doing everything he can to stop this. There will be many different sessions on Leadership, daily walk with Christ and Purity. I will be helping Rebecca Joseph with the purity sessions, this culture is very immoral and Satan wants to make us feel unworthy. 

What dost The Lord require of me? to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.

A day out with the Ladies



Recently, we ladies from IFM had a day out for a little shopping and lunch together. As you can see, we had a great chauffer that drove us around and that was Austin.
This was Joy Eversoles last week before her and Andy went back to the States. So the rest of us wanted to spend a special day together....and it was!
 

We had a full truckload:)

Is this what you think of when you think of Haiti? No, not really. But there is a few fun little places like this that we have had fun discovering. Of course, the best part is just being together!
