A time to mourn

 

“Open up the skies of Mercy, Hear my cry O LORD, Rain down the cleansing flood. Your kindness and favor Lord be within me. Your love is better than Life.”

 

I am amazed by how much sin can interrupt our lives and change things in just moments.  Due to serious moral failure on behalf of our pastor and dear friend we may not continue on as we were previously.  Our ministry’s future is uncertain as to how it will precede.  We were removed from our community and spent time in South Padre to learn the failures of our pastor and to MOVE FORWARD.  For the next ten days we will be at the Gateway which is an AIM base also in Mexico.  We are all safe.  AIM leaders from Georgia are here and more are coming to walk us through this difficult time.  Our future is unknown but we rest very assure in our Father’s mighty HAND.  Our leader has truly failed us but OUR GOD HAS NOT AND WILL NOT.  We are learning what it means to be broken and empty handed before the Lord for his COMFORT and for his plan to be revealed.  I trust in God’s plan for our team but I am so very hurt by Bob’s decisions and how it interrupts our ministry.  PLEASE be in prayer for our group for the decisions that are to come and that SATAN would not discourage us or get more mileage out of this than he has already planned to.  There WILL be changes and maybe they will be for the best but for now we will have to trust and rest in God’s hand.  This is not an easy time for us but OUR GOD IS OUR TRUST AND OUR GUIDE. 

 

The hardest part of this situation is that Bob was like our Mexican father (even though he is American but you get it) and I have an amazing relationship with my father so naturally I saw Bob as a father while we are here.  What a breaking point this is for me in relation to where my trust is.  God has been showing me the things that I hold as equal to him.  NOTHING is equal to God… but in some ways my trust in people in this case in Bob has been equal to the trust I have in the Lord.  The Lord has truly been teaching me that my trust must solely in HIM and HIM alone.  Please pray that this would reign true in my life especially in a time where I need my trust to be in him alone.

 

Thank you again for the support we have received thus far.  The support makes all the difference and as a team we all need your prayers so desperately.
