Resting/family time

We are taking the weekend in Oceanside to rest and talk things through. We have so much to decide, so much to talk about. It has been good to just spend time together.
Thanks to all who have offered to help. We covet your prayers. Continue to send encouragement. It means so much to us to hear from people who have offered prayer, scripture, and help. God is working in all things, whether we understand them or not. Don't ever doubt the perfection of God's timing or His sovereignty.
Read Job 1:20-22, it reminds me that we don't have things that bad. We have never been arrested, beaten, or persecuted physically for the sake of the Gospel. So many each day around the world are being persecuted for Jesus' sake. We have our own trials, but need to keep our eyes on the eternal. In heaven, there is no more crying, no more sadness, no pain. We anxiously await the return of the Lord Jesus for His people.

Mark
