So, the snow has started melting off and we have had a little warmer weather lately; warmer meaning in the 30's! I'll take it though, as long as the snow goes away. Even more importantly, we're back to seeing, visiting, and hanging out with people. That alone is a breath of fresh air.
Over the past week, I have cried with people due to suffering and I have also rejoiced with people due to victory. The Kingdom does indeed include both and it is a beautiful portrait. Through continual prayer and interceding we are seeing God move more and more here in the Quip. Hearts are being softened, men are being raised up, doors are being opened to share the gospel, and people are coming to the One who yearns to be in a relationship with His creation. There is a song by Toby Mac called "A City On Our Knees." The chorus says: "Tonight's the night, for the sinners and the saints. Two worlds collide, in a beautiful display. It's all up tonight, when we step across the line. We can sail across the sea, to a city with one King; A city on our knees." This song reminds me that we are all one family under one Savior, no one better than the other, all broken, seeking after One True Love.
As we see the Kingdom advancing daily here, we are encouraged that the Lord continues to hear our cries. He is faithful to His name and the promises He has left us with. While getting back on track with serving others here in the community, we see it as an incredible honor and privilege to join Christ in what He is doing in Aliquippa.
Love Deeply.
