"The problem with blogs," People told me, "Is that the people writing them lose interest and then stop writing. Obviously, the people reading them, quit looking for a new post. There zillions of blogs lying dormant in blog-heaven."
“Well, not mine!” I thought! “I am so excited about what God is doing, I WILL use my blog to stay in touch and people from all over the place will read it to be excited with me about what God is doing wherever He sends me, through-out the world!”
Well. Here I am. Five months after my last entry, desperately wondering what in the world happened.
(By the way, I’m grinning from ear to ear as well because so many of you have told me: “Are you EVER going to write in it again???”)Thanks for noticing my absence…. And thanks for your prayers as God has been working and we have been huffing and puffing to keep UP!!
Personal notes- let me get them out of the way and then we are back to what in the world God is doing to further His kingdom and fulfill His purpose from my little point of view!
I went San Antonio for 1 month- thank you to all of you who received me in your homes, churches, Sunday School classes, at your tables in a restaurant or sat with me on the floor as I shared about what God is doing in Chiapas, Mexico! ( I still owe profuse apologies to Ann Rutherford because the day we were going to meet I was tired and took something (like Red Bull?) to keep me awake and…. When you add that massive caffeine to my already wired state of mind about the miracles and joy I am a part of….well. Needless to say, my friend from Virginia probably had no idea what loco steam roller blasted through her hotel room chattering 100 miles an hour about the people, the passion, the persecution and the purpose of what God is doing here. Let’s do it again Ann… without the Red Bull!)

I had to turn around to go back to San Antonio a few days after arriving in Chiapas, because it was determined that I should sell my home. Blessedly, the ministry paid to fly me back. I will sum up the wonderful story of God’s provision and miracles with these words: God sold my home.
What an awesome God we serve!
I am reminded of Jesus’ words in Matthew 6: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
And now…. Let me tell you some Kingdom Tales….
(to be continued, very soon!)
