New Ground

We are heading to Charleston, SC for a follow up exam for Heather today.  Pretty much taking up the whole day.  Looking forward to having lunch down there with good friends who have moved down.  Today, I have a lot of thanks for life and being right where we are.  In the church we have been hearing time and again the concept of harvest.  We have been hearing "Harvest."  It is hard to believe that we are at this place because for 5 years we have truly been planting and making rows, turning the ground over, and pulling weeds, watering and fertilizing.  At times there has been so much concern about if the harvest would ever come.  There are so many signs now that the harvest is here.  Small relationships with new people who truly need Jesus and are open to the gospel.  Friends bringing friends to community groups where the gospel is shared and love is the rule.  People who are seasoned in the Lord and ready to serve in ministry are being drawn to fellowship and serve with us.  To be honest, I have to pinch myself because at times it often feels like we would be tilling ground alone, but the truth is that there is always a reward for consistent, labor.  I am thankful for a new season, new development and with that new challenges.  Thank you all for remembering us in prayer for Heather's health, our new church facility and the leadership needed to lead God's people in the day's ahead in Myrtle Beach.-  I so thank each of you for partnering with us in prayer.
