Since 2011 is right around the corner, I decided that the blog deserved a new look for the new year. Hopefully I will change it several times throughout the year but thought I would start with a little black and white sparkle.
Yesterday, while visiting with my neighbor we were discussing just how quickly this year has passed. I thought it was just me, but she agreed...2010 has been a fly by. Besides all the travel we have done throughout the country there have been other highlights each month.
January...the infamous car jacking and several trips to the east
February...the visit of dear friends Jim and Patsy and several trips to the east
March...the homegoing of David's dear sister, Virginia, and several trips to the east
April...a visit with our daugther, Rebecca, and her church as they ministered during the Encuentro Indigenous and a quick trip to the states while David was in meetings in Colombia
May...visits from special friend Barry and his dad, from special missionaries Jane and Wendall, and Adam and Jennifer with their three children
June...the planning of and first visit to the Ch'orti' by a couple of Guatemalan pastors with David in anticipation of evangelistic work and planting of a church and several other trips
July...baptism observance at a water park with our church and several trips
August...our 33rd anniversary, welcoming new missionaries, and several trips
September...celebration of David's birthday and several trips both in and out of country
October...celebration of Glynis' birthday and several trips both in and out of country
November...a short trip to the states to share the heart and vision for work among the Ch'orti', and mission vision trip for David and several from our church to the Ch'orti' area
December...a visit from ALL our children and fun times with them and planning, planning, planning for our travels to Honduras for research there.
I think you can get the idea of what this year has been for us...TRAVEL. When we first surveyed this job assignment, it was listed for a couple with no children (at home, anyway) who liked to travel and who like to travel together. Well, that has been us. I wished I had kept a journal of all the miles traveled this year, you would be surprised at the number. But we know that as we have gone, we have gone with the covering of your prayers, the protection of the angels, and the guidance of the Father. Each step of the way, we have been renewed in our vision of reaching this world for Christ. And we look forward to this new year, we know that as we go, wherever we go, we will go in the power of our Father. Continue to hold us up in prayer as we travel among the darkness of lostness.
