God's Provision

The LORD has provided for Angie to come home for Christmas Break - THANK YOU JESUS! You can read how it happened by going to my personal blog.

Phone Call

(I wanted to repost this note for those that are new to the Blog. Angie has no internet, no computer, no cell-phone. The main way she communicates with us is by snail-mail. She does get a 30 minute call, if she can get on the calling log before all the spots are taken. The calling spots are few. In addition to the few calling spots they have to fit their 30 minute call into their full schedule, which consists of school, ministry, chores and jobs. They also have a curfew of 10pm. One of the reasons we began this Blog was so that we could keep family and friends abreast of all she is up to, since she doesn’t have all the means of communication that we are all privileged to be able to freely use. Hence, one of the reasons I get so excited when “I hear her voice”, is because I do not hear it all the time. I treasure the time I can speak with her, the 30 minutes are just not enough. However, I am so very thankful for them.)

Today I finally heard from Angie – yey!!! She said, “Thank you all for your prayers. I really felt them. We are now finished with mid-terms. I believe that because of all the prayer, I was calm and at peace. I actually had a confidence, in the LORD, that I haven’t had before. So, thank you very much for all your prayers. I am sure glad that is over.” Once mid-terms were done they immediately went into the next phase of work - she had to prepare a Lesson Plan and turn it in today. She felt led to prepare her lesson plan on “The Battle of the Mind”. Her three points were discouragement, deceit, despair. O, yeah, and that Satan is a liar and a loser. She was really encouraged by preparing it. The song that she has in her heart right now is The Battle Belongs to the LORD. This week she will be working on three teaching outlines that are due October 29th…please pray. She is also preparing to teach on December 10th…please pray. She is very excited because this week they get to go visit Time Square Church in New York. They get to be part of the Tuesday service. Their trip will be October 27th. Please pray for good weather; no snow; and that they will be blessed.

She sounded so good…thank you Jesus!

Mid-Terms

This week Mt. Zion has mid-terms. Please pray for all the students. That they would trust the LORD to bring to remembrance all that they have diligently studied. That they would rest in God's grace and power. That they would know that all things do work together for good. Pray for restful nights.

Talked with Angie

I spoke with Angie on the phone - it never gets old to hear to my daughters voice, what a sweet sound to my ears. Anyway, Angie is doing very good. She is really tired, but as she says, "A good kind of tired from doing the LORD's work". She has been a busy-bee. She told me that she once again had to prepare a speech/devotional for her class and this time she did it on prayer. She said that, of course, the LORD spoke to her before she could even share anything with the class. She was encouraged and exhorted to spend more quiet time with her Maker and to intercede more for her family and friends. She encouraged me so much - thank you Jesus! She also had her first outing (they go shopping once a month) and she actually had a Starbuck's coffee - yumm! It's amazing how we can just take these kinds of things for granted. She said that she savored every sip. She says the weather is really nice and she is really enjoying what the LORD continues to speak to her and challenge her with. She sends her love and asks that you pray for her mid-terms. Mid-terms start October 19th. - they have begun to get ready for them. So greetings to all, much love and prayers from Angie.
