An Opportunity to Share

Tina and I have been involved in a class for the last few month at our church. We attend the early service and then go to a Christ-centered parenting class while Kayla and Carter go to their Sunday school. This last weekend was the last week of the class until next fall.

We were asked by the wife of the leader of the class to present to the class what God is doing in our lives. This was a great blessing (thank you Bill and Nancy)! We got the opportunity to share how the Lord has led us thus far and what he has done along the way to prepare us for this journey. We also talked about what the Baptist Haiti Mission is doing and how we'll fit in. After a quick (roughly 15-20 minute) presentation, the leader and his wife prayed for us and invited others to pray as well.

After the class was over, I had great conversations with some people that I hadn't gotten the chance to speak with before. People with things in common and people with things to offer as support. The Lord works in such great ways! In everything that has been happening, I see His mighty hand directing all steps. Nothing is wasted. Nothing is without purpose - in circumstances that are good or bad.
