TO GOD BE THE GLORY, "GREAT" THINGS HE HAS DONE"

I am totally amazed at how GOD can transform lives and orchestrate events. It is mind boggling. Sunday morning, our church had the privelege of having Bob Beasely (Words From the Heart" - Back to the Bible) with us. He shared his testimony during Sunday School, and told us a story about his being adopted, and eventually meeting his birth mother. How God intervened in so many ways.
We also had the privelege of meat canning for MCC in Winkler last week for 2 days. We had a great time with my brother and sister-in-law, and worked hard, shoveling meat (Pork) washing, rinsing, drying, labeling and packing 2 lb. cans of meat. This meat gets sent to poverty stricken countries., and provides much needed nutrition for a family. Our cans were going to Korea. A challenge for anyone who would like to serve and make a difference. Check out MCC or MDS or many other christian orginizations. They all have oportunities for service.
And one more note" TODAY, I jumped into the deep end, all on my own. "WHAT A RUSH" Never in my 56 years, have i jumped into the water. GOD is giving me more and more confidence each week. I am learning to love the water.

Thank you Noah, for being such an inspiration to me. You have inspired me to reach new heights, "I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength"

STEP INTO THE WATER!!!!!!!

Today, I was reminded once again, who carries me through and who holds me up, when the water is deep. That`s right, I went for my 3rd lesson this morning, and I floated the whole length of the pool (WITHOUT A FLOATATION DEVICE) I also treaded water in the deep end, although I did swallow half the pool, but I was able to bob under water, until I touched bottom, and then float on my back, and then tread water. This is HUGH for me. Never in my life, have I gone in the deep end. Thank you so much Courtney for your patience, and assistance. I just need more CONFIDENCE. Just this morning in Hebrews I read about confidence, and was reminded again, that with GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
I am thrilled that He would give the determination to do somethng I have always wanted to do.
