Birthday Message & Update

Thanks so much for being such a beautiful part of our journey! I pray that you enjoy this short video. With God’s help, I’m on my way to South America - for my birthday! How beautiful is His timing! Only Jesus could have put the timing of this trip together like this! I am confident that apart from Jesus I can do nothing! But we also know that apart from each of you that walk together with us, we can’t do anything.
So, what is the purpose for birthdays? What is the purpose of each day? If we’re not careful, birthdays can become self-serving. They can become about us. They can reinforce our culture ‘s theme about how much we “deserve”.
I feel that my birthday is a reminder of the grace of God in my life. Frequently, I hear phrases like, “next year…“, “This next season…”, If this journey with the cross has taught me anything, its that the next year, or the next season...even the next breath, or heartbeat is not a guarantee. All I have, for sure, is this moment. The question is, how will I use my moments? What will I choose to do with my heartbeats? May we see our birthdays, and our moments as an opportunity to give our lives away as a blessing to our precious Savior King and His kingdom! He alone is worthy!
May Jesus be lifted up in every way on this journey to Paraguay! Thanks, again, for walking together with us! God bless you!
