It's been a while since I've posted here....and, yes....we are still alive.
But more importantly....
JESUS IS ALIVE!!!!
Man, I praise God for everything He has taken me through, every thing He continues to do in my life. I have had some low, low times here in Guam and I would love to update you on what the Lord has been doing in my life. Yet, I will just praise Him today and give Him thanks and give Him all the glory and honor for what He has done.
I am going to heaven and not to hell, so I praise you Jesus.
I am a new creature, the old has gone, so I praise you Jesus.
You took ALL my sin away, so I praise you Jesus.
I do not have to sin again, so I praise you Jesus.
You keep all your promises, so I praise you Jesus.
Your word is true, you have conquered the world, so I praise you Jesus.
I am of God and I have overcome them, because greater is He that is in me than is over the world. (derived from 1John 4:4)
Thank you Jesus for picking me up out of the miry clay and setting my feet on solid foundation.
You are the only way, the only truth and the only life.
Death could not hold You....You are truth....and I pray that I can continue to seek You and You alone in all that I do.
HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY EVERYONE!!

Walk by faith
Well I am eating brownie batter at almsot 12 o'clock midnight here in Guam....
I am really bad about keeping up with this blog. I want to continue to update and tell whats happenin' here, where America's Day begins....
I am so thankful we found a church home. What an answer to prayer! I love the people there and the girls have found some friends that they connect with. I am looking forward to growing and serving with this body of believers.
One other thing that I had prayed for was a mentor. I so badly and desparately want a woman in my life that has walked with the Lord longer than I to pray with me and to listen to me blab about my relationship with the Lord and to give me Godly wisdom....I haven't found one yet but continue to pray for one to come...maybe from the church?
I really had an emotionally exhausting day today. I feel so compassionate about the lost and I physically feel the heartbreak that I am sure God feels as His people turn and stray away from Him. I was once lost and so I know how it was to run my "own" life and to believe the lies of the enemy, thinking that I was in control....but praise be to the Lord that I am saved only by His grace and mercy....
I guess I am writing this because I have hung out and conversed with people just recently who do not know the Lord. Sad to say, I have not really gotten out much since being here and when I do it is to take the kids to church-related activities where most of the people there are saved....so to be back into the "world" so to speak was somewhat of a shock that people still think and believe the devil's lies...but again, I was there at one time and so I believed the tricks, schemes, and deception of the enemy too. I wonder to myself why and how God can allow such evil and atrocity in this world? He is all-knowing...He knows our hearts...each and every "good" and evil person's heart He knows. He knows our thoughts before we think them. So why Lord....why let evil still reign on this Earth?
The Lord today reminded me of Romans 8:28..."All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." And so I stand on His word and His word alone.....I believe, I have hope, through the nastiness that this world can bring and has recently been brought into reality again for me.....I have faith and I will walk by faith and not by sight.....

Change
Hello family and friends,
Well we have officially moved into our rental home. The Lord provided a nice 4 bedroom 3 bath place with our own semi private beach. Our furniture and other stuff arrived here on Monday and Tuesday....so we have been trying to unpack these last few days. Still got a lot more work on the house to do but we are doing a little here and there in between the girls activities, work, soccer practice, schoolwork, and church. We still don't have internet but hopefully within the next couple of days we will have it set up. I have a lot to share about what the Lord is doing in our lives. I know that whenever their is a change in my environment God is working a change in my heart...particularly about this whole concept of change. Everything is new and different and so I need to trust Him that this change is to grow me and mold me more into the image of his Son for His purposes and plans...for He says, "I know the plans I have for you...plans to prosper you and not to harm you..." Wish I could type more..but I am doing this on my cell phone on a tiny keyboard. Please know that I am praying for you.....
