Making a New Home

We'll if every week I wrote an entry stating that all is perfect and there haven't been any trials, then I would hope that my faithful readers out there would be intelligent enough to know that in the "good fight of faith" that is an impossibility. 1 Peter chapter 4 tells us that trials and suffering will come, but that in them we rejoice. Wherever I am, in whatever state in which I find myself, I have no choice but to rejoice. I will purpose in my heart to rejoice. There have been many challenges that have come my way this week, but this only encourages me to fight harder. To press harder into the things of God. He is moving all throughout the world, Brazil included. I can't wait to see what he accomplishes here during this time.

I find myself loving the children here more and more. I am believing that the Lord will open more and more doors to minister, including to the orphans and the widows. Please pray with me in agreement for this very thing.

I will leave you with a testimony of God's healing power. Three weeks ago one of the missionaries who is set to join us in Brazil received a phone call that her mother was diagnosed with stage four lymphoma. But God. My God is still a miracle worker. He is still in the healing business. He is looking a place to move in healing. We have been praying and believing God for that very thing. Just this week I received an email saying that her mother has received an absolute clean bill of health. They cannot explain it and are baffled. I am not! How dare we reduce the miracles of God to a "doctor misdiagnosis." So as the trials come, so do the victories!

Be encouraged, and thank you for reading. :)
