It sounds like y'all have learned the ministry of the song...wonderful!! That's how it's done when it's in God's divine order, Monk. We first minister to Him, He ministers to us, and only then can He minister through us.
...and united!!!! Pastor told us last nite that a minister friend of his said it best about our church, "They used to be a bunch of bodies, now they are a Body"....true that!
sooooooooo what else is happening in The Great White North?
Still unpacking boxes, washing linens, etc. that have been in storage for a few months, decorating, my parents dropped in so I fixed lunch for them, etc.
It's such a gorgeous day - so beautiful! Wish I could write a poem in celebration to do it justice but oh well .... those of you who live here know how wonderful these early Spring days are.
And .... I've never been any more happy or contented. I feel as if I 'm living in a cloud ...... totally enveloped by love, contentment, and confidence, conviction and assurance that God is completely in control.
I have EVERYthing I need. I'm lacking nothing. He's so good to me!! So many prayers answered, so many needs supplied, so many friends praying and encouraging! And all the glory and credit goes to the Master, Creator and God of this Universe and the Master and Lord of my life - JESUS CHRIST!

I never cease to be amazed by my God. He dazzles, overwhelms, surprises, and gifts me time and time again. And every time He does I just kind of stand there with my mouth open .....
"You did it again, Lord!"

The Bible says that if we delight ourselves in the Lord He will give us even the desires of our heart. Well, on May 31st I will be doing a Miles For Missions Bike-a-thon to raise funds for New Direction China Ministries. I will ride (translation = PEDAL) from the church we planted in Woodstock to Fredericton, which is 100KM.
I have six weeks to get in shape for this. I needed a helmet before I could begin riding my bike, but didn't have the funds for this extra expense right now. On Monday I received a call requesting me to sing at a funeral on Wednesday. I was given an honorarium that I was not expecting at all that covers the cost of a new helmet.

Praise the Lord!
Well I do wish you the best, last time I got on a bike I quickly got back off. That old saying just wasn't true in my case... (and the seat was too high, I could only touch ground with tippy toes)
