Yesterday we got to drive up to Portland to see Alicia for a few hours. She has an incredible view from her deck. In the thick trees birds are chirping, and you can almost feel a calm descend... pretty nice place to relax.
We drove to Eugene, Oregon on Friday and once again have appreciated the great hospitality of the church here. We are staying in an apartment in the church building, and we have been treated to several wonderful meals with good fellowship. Jim preached both Sunday morning services, and the brass group from Maranatha Baptist Bible College did a beautiful concert in the evening. We were blessed.
Tomorrow we will be joining the church folks here for a July 4th picnic and ball game with some fireworks. Our plans are to be in Green River, WY by Saturday for a meeting there Sunday. We are beginning to make our way back to Michigan.
In my devotions I was reading again about Ahab making himself sick over not getting Naboth's vineyard. Jezebel "acquired" the vineyard and hastened judgment on her family. I was reminded again that only God truly knows our every need. Something wicked in us drives us to get the things we feel we must have. I want to keep a loose hold on things and really trust God for His perfect provisions. He is good.
Thanks for remembering us in prayer.
