Life on the Road

    Hello friends! The month of February has been a crazy one to say the least, I spent much of it in the state of Louisiana, crisscrossing to all corners of the state. The Lord has blessed the meetings I have had and I am currently at about 40% support!I am beyond excited by that number, it seems too good to be true. I am pushing harder than ever to be finishing up deputation by this coming November. In the last few days I have seen the Lord do a lot, just in my personal life. I had been praying for several days that the Lord would give me an opportunity to be a witness to someone. (As I’ve travelled I have found it somewhat more difficult to actively Soul-win.) In this last week I had the opportunity to share my testimony in sign language and in Portuguese! I was not able to lead either of the ladies to the Lord, but was able to give them the gospel. How encouraging it was to be able to use the languages that I am preparing to use in  Brazil here in the states. Two people that I may not have otherwise been able to communicate with, I was able to be a witness to.

    As I head into month 8 of being on the road full time I look back at many of the things I have learned so far. I have learned how to find adventures everywhere I go, how to make friends on the spot, how to be alone for extended periods of time, how to be around a lot of people of extended periods of time but the most important thing I have learned is how to live daily in the presence of the Lord. As I’ve travelled, I have learned much about my walk with the Lord and just how weak it really was. Through this journey of deputation, with all its ups and downs, the enjoyable and the less so, I have learned how to seek the Lord, as David said, ‘With my whole heart.’ How easy it is sometimes to almost passively ‘read our Bible and pray,’ when God is waiting for us to seek Him. He wants us to earnestly and with everything inside of us, beg Him to show us more of Himself. I believe it is not until we come truly to the end of ourselves that we are able to internalize this truth.  

Thank you so much for your love and prayers!
