"There was Jesus"

 Over the weekend, I heard this song for the first time. "There was Jesus" by Zach Williams. The timing was perfect. On Saturday, I was given the amazing opportunity to share my testimony about how I ended up in Nepal. Before I wrote down this testimony, I began thinking through my life... all 30 years of it and those three words were the most true of all of it. Through all the crazy times, through the dark times, every minute and every moment (even when I couldn't see it) there was Jesus. It is so astounding to see how God is and was at work in our lives.     

This truth is becoming the core of our focus these days as we are living with a cup full of faith, a dash of uncertainty, and a heaping spoonful of perseverance. This is a perfect recipe to go back onto the mission field. But it is important to remember where to keep our focus. The focus is that we serve Jesus who promised to never leave us nor forsake us. We are not doing this alone. It is almost beautiful to ponder though all the crazy hurdles that have been coming and yet just how faithful Jesus has been in our lives. 


We are going back to Nepal. We know that for sure. We aim to leave October 1st but we trust that if we cannot leave on that day then our date will be moved and we will leave as soon as God wants us to leave. 

The bottom line is that we trust God. We trust Him with everything. So we move forward. 

Praying. 

Praising.

Serving.

Loving.  

Then as He leads, we go. 

Please pray and praise God with us. Pray for His will to be done on behalf of my passport. That it will come back quickly. Pray for the registration with the Nepali embassy that must be done before we leave. P


Pray things will just start going smoothly with all the government work. 

And praise God. He is so worthy to be praised. Give Him all the glory forever and ever for He is good. He is so good. 

We love you all and we pray for you too.
