We had a great time down in Mexico the week before Thanksgiving. It was great to see our American family (The Prices) and our Mexican family...you can see some of the pictures on the slideshow posted on the right side of this blog.
What a blessing it has been to be able to get to know the precious people of Cardenas, Molina, and Empalme...it has truly been a gift from our heavenly Father. Each time we go, we learn more and more Spanish and each time we leave it gets harder and harder to say goodbye.
Thank you Father, for the blessings you have given us!

God is AWESOME!
What an awesome God we serve. He promises to supply all our needs, (not wants) everyday, and then He does! He is faithful to His children and patience beyond understanding. His love for us is unfailing and unconditional, even though we have done nothing to deserve it.
What a great and mighty and loving God He is!
Keep your eyes on Him today, and He will guide you all the way.

The Joy of the Lord
As I was reading in Psalm 86 this morning, God spoke to my heart about living with His joy in our lives and how that can be a reality for us as His children. In verse 4 it says this...
"Bring joy to your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul."
As we learn to lift up our hearts and the things that concern our hearts (failures, sins, fears, doubts, decisions, loneliness, shame, hurts, etc.) to our Father, He will fill us with His joy. If we choose to hold onto them ourselves and keep them, we will be overcome with sorrow, grief, helplessness, hopelessness, defeat, discouragement, depression, etc. and His joy will not be evident in our lives.
He calls us to "not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition,with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Did you hear that...If we lift up our hearts to Him and give Him everything, His peace will fill our lives and we will have His joy spilling out of us, even when our lives are filled with pain and struggles.
May God teach us how to lift up everything to Him so we can be His agents of JOY!
For His Glory,
Chris
