Hebrews 4:9 … there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God. For all who enter into God's rest will find rest from THEIR labors...
Hew 4:2…but it did them no good because they didn’t believe what God told them.
Matt. 11:28-30...come unto me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest...take my yoke...for it is easy and light...for my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light....
Rest from YOUR labor, and yoke with Him! His burden is easy and light!
This is my paraphrased version of a spontaneous Bible study I had at my kitchen table this morning with a wonderful young woman. A woman who has recently returned home from a short term mission program, serving in Heidi Baker's orphanage in Mozambique, Africa. It was such a privilege to hear about her trip and share in the Kingdom with this former student of mine.
What a precious morning we shared, and how blessed I was by her special visit. There is much hope when wonderful young people like her and another intern gave up their summer to serve the needy children in a third world country.
I am enjoying my current journey that the King is taking me on, and I am enjoying it with those He has called me to walk beside...the body of Christ...what a precious gift!

They did not even count this as a sacrifice, they saw it as a privilege...
My amazing daughter will be back on Monday from her six month mission trip...it will be a riveting week to watch, listen, and learn about who my daughter now is...a forever changed woman for sure...I am sure I will give you all an update as time permits.

Wonderful! I love to hear heartwarming posts like this, about those who walk and live the Lord's message, who go amongst the poorest of the poor and bring the good news to those who have never heard it. Jesus said His words and message would spread to all the corners of the earth!
Your daughter's imminent arrival must be causing so much excitement in your household....what a joyous reunion that will be! How blessed she was to follow the calling to that distant land....
I hope the Lord blesses her and brings her back home safe and sound....
P.S. I read about puddin toes in your comment on Pappy's blog and I hope your little cuite is doing fine!
Wonderful news indeed! Enjoy your reunion with your daughter.
I played tag over at "My Front Porch" today.
Blessings to you and your daughter and much happiness to all your family in welcoming her back. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings, Virginia
That is awsome! Thank you for sharing.
Tell her there are fellow believers who appreciate her service to the Lord. I know you are proud of her. We are too. Pappy
I can't wait to hear about Jenna's adventures and wonderful work. You must be so proud of her. What an experience of a lifetime!
