"When God wants to do impossible things, He
finds impossible people and crushes them." - Swindoll
In a fallen world where unmet and unrealistic expectations collide there are many opportunities. When I am squeezed what is inside is forced to the surface. Not always pretty. God has a lot of work to do in this redneck heart and I know pain is always going to be part of the process.
King Saul sought to destroy David, but his only success was that he became the instrument of God to put to death the Saul who roamed about in the caverns of David’s own soul. Yes, David was virtually destroyed in the process, but this had to be. Otherwise the Saul in him would have survived.

Today I am feeling a bit stronger but need to keep the lessons of the last few days fresh in my mind. I knew shifting from Texas to Mapanza would be difficult. God does not call us to "easy." He calls us to "HOLY."
So what about you? Where has God been pruning you this week? Will you allow yourself to be broken before Him...to endure the growing pains?
Please keep praying for me as my prayers for you never cease. Thank you for choosing to make this journey with me. I need your encouragement and accountability. Most of all!
THANKS BE TO GOD!

A Tale of Three Kings by Gene Edwards
Be still, there is a healer
His love is deeper than the sea
His mercy, it
is unfailing
His arms are fortress for the weak
Let faith arise
Let
faith arise
I lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, You
are my strength
As I pour out my heart
These things, I remember
You are
faithful, God, forever
