i just heard a story that really helped encourage me in this time of our fundraising/ministry.
out on a day at sea an officer and his wife found themselves in a terrible storm. she was so terrified and looked to her husband for some comfort or direction. when she looked over at him she realized he was so calm and seemingly not shaken at all by the turmoil around them. she had to ask how he was staying so calm. all he had to do was draw his sword to explain. he pulled out his sword and placed it at her neck. he asked if she was afraid of the sword and the wife said of course not. when asked why she simply said because you are holding it i know you would never hurt me. his response was that he knew who was in charge of the storm and knew He was looking after them.
When i heard this it really helped me to calm my wondering mind about how and when we will get to New Zealand. we are praying strong and having faith that God is in control of our lives and so we need not fear or worry about how He is going to work it out. thanks for your prayers and thoughts for us. i hope this can be of encouragement to you today!!!
may God bless you today
