BECKI IS IN BELIZE !!!!!!!!

WOW!  

It's been 47 days since I left Ohio to come to Belize...

It's been 47 days since I saw my wife...

It's been 47 days of hectic schedules, busy busyness on both ends,

It's been 47 days of emails, im's and phone calls...

It's been 47 days of "I miss you" and "I love you"...

It's been 47 days of wondering when this day was going to come.

At last - it's here!!!!!!

Wow, she's gorgeous!

Becki and Rachel and I had a great reunion, just so happy to see each other. Yes, Rachel is here too - Becki has been homeschooling her this year and she is just as happy to be a homeschool student in Belize as in Ohio or anywhere we might be.

We also had a divine appointment in meeting a Nazarene mission team from Kansas that just arrived in Belize. I cannot even tell you all the details now, but it was a true 'God - thing'!

I tried so hard to make a certain thing happen and circumstances far beyond me stopped all progress. Yet, God had other plans. He actually used this group to accomplish what I was trying to do - without them even knowing that a local pastor needed exactly what they were bringing to that table! Not only that but they blessed me in another way too as they have some men who will help tackle a little project for the future training of our pastors here.

And - I met a recently retired man who is interested in helping us with teaching the lay pastors. All this because Becki's flight this morning was delayed a couple of hours due to thunderstorms last night which kept the flight crew from getting enough sleep to be able to fly.

Um, is God in the details...or what!??!! 

I  LOVE  IT ! &  I LOVE GOD even more for making such things happen, and allowing me to see it in full living color! Too cool!

Pray for me this week as I go to teach a class on New Testament to the lay pastors. I just found out about this as I was leaving to go to a seminar for 3 days. Can you say 'brain overload'?!

God is faithful  -  so I KNOW it will be a good week, but I also know it will be an even better week  - if YOU will pray!

Thanks everyone!
