Verse of the week

This is a passage that really ministered to me. I hope you enjoy and are blessed by it!!

2 Timothy 3
001: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
002: For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
003: Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
004: Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
005: Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
006: For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
007: Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
008: Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
009: But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
010: But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
011: Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
012: Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
013: But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
014: But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
015: And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
016: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
017: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

An end to camping

That went fast. I can't believe that my week of camping has already come and gone. We visited to Grand Canyon (WOW), went fishing (well, at least my brothers and Dad did) and just had some fun as a family! I don't know where the time went!! Well anyway, I had a blast. Nothing like a week in God's creation to wake you up. The weather was perfect, (and rainy :D) though I might have been able to pass on the dryness. I mean, the skin on my arms was starting to peel it was so dry!! But no more. As of right now I'm in Kansas with my Grandparents and will be for the next two weeks. My family is staying at the campsite for one more night and will then be moving to another campsite in Tucson, AZ. It's wierd going from one extreme to another (you know, from big gang to two people). I offered to make supper for my grandparents this evening, but I told my grandma that I might have a hard time making it for so few people! My trip here was uneventful (they drove and I slept ;). There was little to no talking (can't say I'm complaining, but it can get kind of boring), but still, the trip ended and here I am. Alright, I got to go. God bless you all and ho0pefully I'll catch you later.
In Christ~

On the road again

Well, now we're in th States again. The trip went well. We left around 3 a.m. yesterday morning and drove through without stopping. we arrived at the border at 5 p.m. and (aside from having to wait in line) we were able to get through without a hold-up. But I have to tell you, it waqs seriously hot. We had an addition to our family this trip. His name is Stephan and he came down a couple of weeks ago to help out with some projects around the house. We dropped him off at the Greyhound station last night and right now he's on his way back to Oregon. We're not at our campground yet because we stopped last night to stay at a hotel. Now we're about ready to head out, we should be there in about 6 hours. If you get on here between now and then shoot off a quick pray for our travels. Our van has been having some problems with overheating. We're not sure what's wrong, but I know God's got it all under control. Have a blessed day!!!

So...

Hello everyone!!

Just wanted to let you guys know that we're heading out in a few hours to the States! It should be a pleasant trip, but please pray for us as our van is know to have problems. If I don't write on here for awhile you'll know why, though I really did want to write a post (or two!) about the mission team that came down. Oh well, not much I can do about it now (but I will try once we're in the States). So, if I can't get on and you guys for some reason don't hear from me that means I'm having a great vacation and God's good!! Till I write again, have a blessed Summer!!!

Prayer Requests

Hey everyone!! These are some things in my life, and the life of my family, that need prayer. If you guys would pray for these things I would appreciate it. Thank you!

• That our house in Oregon would sell. (We bought it as an investment a little over two years ago. Right before the market crashed).
• That our trip to the States would go smoothly and that God would provide according to HIS abundance.
• That God would give me more faith to believe in His promises.
• That Jessee's cut on his face would heal up quickly.
• For the new girls' class I've started and that God would give me wisdom to direct and teach these girls.
• For protection over this house while we're are gone.
• For the youth group we're trying to start in Boca del Rio.
• For the Youth Center we've been able to start building. That God would provide the funds necessary to finish.
• For another missionary family nearby that's going through some hard times.
• For our church in general.
• For the community, that God would be bringing revival to their hearts.
• That God will would be done no matter what the outcome.
• A new van for us. Our old van is experiencing lots of breakdowns and various problems.

Thank you for your prayers and I'm glad you had the chance to stop by. Have a blessed day!!

Young Bird is no more

Sad news, my youngest little birdy died just the other day. The cat got into the cage. I'm sad, but I think that it wasn't in any pain. The other bird is lonely but unharmed.
