Sharing in Cuba

Please be praying for us. Osmel told me last night that it has been requested that while we are in Cuba, that we would share a message with the congregation that Richard pastors. As we were talking about it, I thought about what God had been speaking to me about lately was waiting. When I told Osmel that I thought that would be the subject, he said that was the word God had given him as well. Wow... we have the same word. Now the hard part, putting it all together so I have something to share. No pressure!

God is Watching

Psalm 10:14 God, you see trouble and sadness. You take note of it. You do something about it. So those who are attacked place themselves in your care. You help children whose fathers have died.

What comfort it brings to know that God is watching. That He is taking note of my situation. That he will do something. That I can place myself in His care and that I can let it go. And in my current situation, looking to adopt a fatherless child, it is good to know Jesus, that You are with the fatherless, helping them, protecting them.... I ask Jesus, that You would protect my child.

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord

Psalm 121

1 I look up to the hills. Where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord. He is the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He won't let your foot slip. He who watches over you won't get tired.
4 In fact, he who watches over Israel won't get tired or go to sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you. The LORD is like a shade tree at your right hand.
6 The sun won't harm you during the day. The moon won't harm you during the night.
7 The LORD will keep you from every kind of harm. He will watch over your life.
8 The LORD will watch over your life no matter where you go, both now and forever.
