I let too much time go by

Sorry!  I let too much time go by since the last post!  Now that I have taken time to write again, I have too much on my mind.  But here's a brief insight into what I have been thinking about over the last few days-
1.  Treasure and hearts- I gave a sermon on this a while ago, and I am wondering how we can get Christians to wake up and treasure the eternal things.  The kids from Idaho and Texas got a glimpse of this idea last week and I pray they continue to put God first in their lives.

2. The desert and Moses- I am not trying to feel sorry for myself, but I sometimes feel like Moses in the desert, waiting for the burning bush! Erin and I have a willingness to serve, but with the possibility of moving to Crownpoint, we wonder what God has planned. All we can do is continue serving God in the areas he has shown us. We just wonder what is next. I am excited about the ministry opportunities at Crownpoint and am willing to jump in, but I want to be careful that I don't get ahead of my Master's will!

3. Sin. I have been reading through the prophets and have been struck by the sorrow God has over the sins of His people, yet the Israelites are oblivious or even hostile in their rebellion. I read this week in Ezekiel how God will make his people loathe their sin while they are in captivity. It made me think of my own sin and lack of awareness. So I added that to my regular prayer this week - a loathing of my sin.

Well, that is enough for now! We are going to be at TBarM soon, so pray for us as we observe the camp and see what we can incorporate into the plans for a camp in Thoreau. Also, please continue to pray for us and our house. It seems like it may never sell, and we are eager to move to either St Bon or Crownpoint. But we don't want to get ahead of God and if he wants us to stay put for now, then we will praise God for letting us enjoy our beautiful home (and a long commute to work where I can listen to sermons while I drive :)) . We need God's wisdom in seeking what to do ministry wise, so please pray for that too! It doesn't seem to make sense to move us to Crownpoint when so many ministry opportunities are opening up in Thoreau. But we know God knows best and will follow wherever he leads! Lastly, feel free to contact us and let us know how we can lift your needs/ministries up in prayer. I am toying with the idea of adding a prayer page to blog, and it would be cool to make that page not just center on our needs alone! God bless you as we all seek to fulfill the Great Commission!
