Back from the airport

Just back from the airport taking Caleb and Jay for their trip to Alabama. I do wish that we could have been with them. My challange comes from the fact that we do not seem to be seeing anything happen at the moment here so we "might as well" be there instead.

The Lord was good - He gave me a special blessing in my devotions yesterday (See 20 May, 2005 at Rogers Reflections ) about how nothing is too hard for the Lord in His appointed time.

I do not do well at waiting. I want to wait on the Lord - but struggle with not "seeing" anything. Sometimes I feel like the Jews who "require a sign."

Thoughts on a May afternoon
I have been struggling a bit of late with discouragement in this work. I am grateful for all that God has given us with our children's ministries, but for the life of me can't understand why nothing really seems to get going with the church.

I keep hearing from the Word lessons on being patient. For example this morning I read how Abram and Sarai messed things up by trying to "help" God. I know all of that is true - I am sure we are serving God where we should, but I can't reconcile that to what I "see."

I think we need a furlough. Caleb and Jay are going to Alabama Saturday and I really wish we were going. This is the first time I have felt this way.

We must keep our focus on the Lord and strive to be faithful in our service.
