Fathers Day


How was your Fathers Day?

We had a great surprise around 8:00am. The phone rang. The caller ID said unknown name so we were not going to answer it. We had had 2 prank phone calls over night around 3:00am and were tired of the unknown. The answering machine picked up and as soon as we heard the first word, "hey" we knew it was Hunter and quickly picked up! He called all the way from Thailand to wish Steve a happy fathers day! It was so good to hear his voice.

Im so thankful we live in a time when its its possable to speak to someone on the other side of the world.

Hunter is enjoying the food over there, but asked for prayer for somethings. He said there is obvious spiritual warfare going on. Please keep him and the whole team in your prayers. He said he might be able to call again in a few weeks. They are in a village somewhere outside of Bangkok, spreading the good news of Jesus. Pray for good weather and health, and of course that many would hear and accept Christ.

In my Bible Study homework today I read about how God surrounds us and protects us as He does Jerusalem. ( Ps. 125) ( Isnt God good.....even in the details of our little lives. )

And how does He protect Jerusalem? Zech 2:3-5 " I will be a wall of fire around her and I will be the glory in her midst "

The picture on this post is of Steve and Hunter at the airport before leaving for Thailand.
On the occation of Fathers Day I want to publicly ( as public as this blog is :) ) Thank the Lord for putting Steve in our lives. He has been a wonderful example of a Godly man, father and husband! ( Where would I be if the Lord didnt love me? )
Thank you Jesus for Steve!
