Supporters Needed

During this Transition time we are tasked with becoming fully funded.  Our current goal is to have $1000.00 in new monthly support by the end of November.  To help elivate not being fully funded we were dropped to part time and less pay.  As you can imagine with three kids that makes it very tight.  We are trusting God to help us fulfill this goal and to show us where we are going next!  Unfortunaly the process of going overseas is not a short one!  We are asking for your prayer right now and help in finding new supporters.  If we do not obtain our goals we might be forced to not have a paycheck until we are fully funded and out of deficit.  If you are interested in becoming a supporter please email us at erandbry@msn.com  We would love to talk to you about where God is taking us and where we have been serving.   Thank you for your prayers and continued support.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make straight your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6

 

Letting Go

If I were a leaf on a majestic tall tree,

And I had the choice, of which I could be,

I’d be a maple to turn orange yellow gold

When the cool autumn winds turned warm nights cold.

I’d want to be high as high could be,

So all of the world would be open to me.

I’d sway with the wind, spring, summer and fall

Up in the maple so big and so tall.

Then one moonlit night in October’s cold air,

A beautiful frost would come paint me with care.

All leaves would turn color, as God would have done

To give the world beauty for short days to come.

Then if I could choose on which day I would fall

I pick late October when winds came to call.

I’d choose Sunday morning so bright and sunny,

As sun through the leaves flowed golden as honey.

I’d pick the sweet moment, when the wind was just right

To let go of my limb and float nice and light

Drifting ever so calmly from the place of my birth,

Then gently lie down to my rest here on earth.

I LOVE AUTUMN AND ALL OF THE CHANGING OF COLORS.

As I read this poem it reminded me of our walk with Christ.  Of letting go from where we started.  Of his perfect timing and how when we finally let go of our control how beautiful it is and how God can use us when we let go.  This is a lesson that we are currently learning and are giving up control.  We know that God wants to do something with our lives.  We are letting go and now praying for God to show His path for us.

I waited patiently for the LORD;  he turned to me and heard my cry.
 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
Psalm 40:1-2
