He is Faithful

From Jill:Well, we've recovered from our visit West, sleep-wise that is. Our hearts still hurt. I've posted some more photos of the children...we never grow tired of seeing them!

I'm sorry for the gap in blogging. I find it's easier to blog when things are "happening", but then it's more of a report, and not really what's going on behind the scenes (or in our hearts).

I read this verse yesterday at Bible study,Hebrews 10 verse 23 "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful...". This verse was written to remind us of our hope in Jesus Christ and the promise of eternal life. But it spoke to me a bit differently regarding our "call" to the mission field of Mexico.

He IS faithful to His promises, and we need to continue to hope and believe without wavering. Praise God! Ed and I have not been wavering! Rather, we have been boldly embracing His promise and the hope found in that promise! We can say that without a doubt that God wants us to obey Him by going to Mexico to work at the Gabriel House with Mexican Medical Ministries. We can say without a doubt that we desire with both our hearts to obey and honor that mandate.
And we hold fast without wavering that He who promised is faithful! Hallelujah!

Because of this recent visit we have been privileged to witness the move of the Holy Spirit in the lives of those with a faith in Jesus Christ and those without. We have recently been contacted by someone who, though not a believer in Jesus Christ, can see the hand of God in our lives, and has decided to join our team of monthly supporters. And while we are excited to receive another supporter, it is even more exciting to see the hand of God in his life!

That's what this process is about...obeying God, stepping forward and experiencing the faithfulness of God. Ed and I are humbled and honored to be considered worthy by the Father for the work He has in store for us. And along the way, we are humbled and honored to witness the beauty and amazing love the Father has for those we come in contact with.

May your day be blessed with the knowledge of the uncompromising truth that God loves you!
