"I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing." Genesis 12:2
Church service was amazing today... we had Patrick and Barb at church, the missionaries that were affected when the earthquake in Haiti happened... Patrick almost die, he lost one arm... Barb his wife lost one leg... 2 lives dedicated to God, 2 hearts after the heart of God, doing nothing else but serving Him in Haiti, bringing souls to God... in Patrick's case is like God has raised him from the death... and today, both spoke... Barb, wow, what an inspiration, after all she has gone through, she praises God, laughs, big smile on her face, sharing love with everyone... Patrick... his message, so much passion when he shared, God used his lips and give him the strength to make the point... our lives are to serve God, not to serve ourselves and satisfy ourselves, our lives are to be used by Him.... if we do not allow him to use us, then our life is a waist.
See, Barb and Patrick have inspired me so much during their time of suffering, following up on their situation, they helped me to see my problem so little, thank you Patrick and Barb, you guys are an inspiration.

Sophia, I watched Patrick and Barb online and thought the entire time how amazingly they serve God. I want to say that I have no fear to suffer for my King, but I have to admit...it often scares me. It is people like you, and Patrick and Barb, and others in our family that lift my heart and make me remember who I serve! Our suffering is not a punishment, but a privilege. We are deemed worthy to share in the advancement of our Lord's kingdom here on earth.
ReplyDeleteI often think of my mother's suffering...which I credit to God bringing me back into his arms. Hard to have bitterness in that.
YOU are loved and prayed for. God can do all things...and YOU are His joy!!!!
Here for anything you may need. I love you.
