God Sees Us! :)
Mindy and I are in a season where it is easy to focus on our circumstances and become discouraged about it, but we cannot help but trust and believe that God has a purpose for us. We remember that while we were yet in our mother's womb, that God knew our purpose and us (psalm 139). The season we are in and the circumstances we face are not foreign to him. In fact our season and circumstances do not hinder us, they are, believe it or not, part of helping us reach our purpose (James 1:4). The year I was in charge of making sure we had enough food for "Our Being Thankful for Our Community" event, it felt overwhelming. I kept saying to myself, "Why did I sign up to this?" But, it was going through that hard experience that allowed me to gain the skills I needed to make Our Being Thankful Day event a success. I learned the importance of being persistent, checking-in with folks, writing things down and many more. This year, I was able to look back and see the purpose of going through that overwhelming time with the event the year before. The problem is that we're not always at a place where we see God's purpose. Yet, Mindy and I know though we may be blind that God sees. We are not forgotten.
As we face difficult times as a ministry and uncertainties in this upcoming year as a couple we remain hopeful. Hopeful, that the good work God has started in us, he will see out until completion (Phil.1: 6). We know that He did not bring us this far to leave us. We've come this far by faith and hope; and on hope we shall remain. "Our hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus' blood and righteousness.
