PRAISE! PRAISE! PRAISE1

Bless the LORD [Yahweh], O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Psalm 103:1

I am so overcome with gratitude and praise for our LORD that I cannot even express it in words. Bless His holy name. He is so great!

We closed on our house at Kelly Lane on Friday morning and headed straight to the bank with our check! We wanted to make sure nothing happened to it. The IMB (International Mission Board) requires that a person be debt free before going on the field so we have some bills to pay!!

The deacon body of Georges Creek Baptist Church graciously allowed us to move into their parsonage/mission house last Thursday, and we will be living here until after Christmas. What a blessing it is to have people in our community who are willing to help those around them. Thank you so much, Georges Creek!

We must also say thanks to Dean Parker and to our family that helped us move IN ONE DAY!! Boy, was that a lot of work. ☺

We are excited about what God is going to do in our lives, and we certainly appreciate all of your prayers, thoughts and encouraging words during these past few months. We KNOW that God HEARS and ANSWERS the prayers of HIS people.

An interesting thing that we found out at our closing was that the girl who bought our house is a worship leader (don’t know where) and that her realtor is also a Christian. Tell me God doesn’t know what He’s doing! It is so refreshing to know that there are other Christians in a world where we seem so far and few between. I did, however, leave a tract and a card with info on it regarding our contemporary service, Protos, at BCBC. I thought it couldn’t hurt!

I can’t also go without giving a “shout out” (Yes, I’m going old school by saying that) to our awesome realtor, Missy Rick. If you ever want/need to sell your house, she is the one to call! She is a great Christian lady who will get the job done. ☺

We do not have internet service at the moment so my posts will be few, but I will certainly write more as soon as we are online again.

Again, thanks to all of you. But mostly, I thank my AWESOME LORD and SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST for without HIM none of this would be possible. PRAISE HIS NAME FOREVER.
