This is from the Lord and I do believe He is and will use you mightily in the lives of many. Your mission field is just as 'spiritual' as church planting...and certainly as challenging!<BR/>It was wonderful to catch up with you the other Saturday. You're a dear friend and I love you!peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723208704211908736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726416.post-1161123329026315722006-10-17T18:15:00.000-04:002006-10-17T18:15:00.000-04:00Just caught up on your blog, and I believe that se...Just caught up on your blog, and I believe that several of your prayers were answered! He allowed you to apply the numbing cream, no blisters...and hopefully the insurance works out! Why you ever thought about missions I don't know...I don't have any of that in me. I like my creature comforts too well. But in the mission field at least you would be known as a missionary, and people would expect you to speak of God. In hospital clinics, well, they are a different place altogether. No less forsaken though, except we are getting the benefit of excellent medical care. So inyour ongoing battle with SWS, you are the light not to be put under a basket. And, I know that just having that light in a room...well, it does affect people. We are tempted to complain, but we have our glorious Savior to exhalt...and we do have HOPE!! Bri, your blog is always so encouraging to me, your suppleness in God's hands, your sacrifical care of your children (albeit so draining at times), your foundation in his word...thank you for taking the time to share so honestly. I believe you are a pleasant aroma to our God.

So many of them are so arrogant they refuse to accept miracles. Embarrassed that their hands and intellects had nothing to do with the healing. Every one of us is standing smack in the middle of a mission field. Why do we think we have to board a plane to find one???Zoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07119513647613843627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726416.post-1161032725423516782006-10-16T17:05:00.000-04:002006-10-16T17:05:00.000-04:00Happy Birthday a day late!!!!

We need to be reminded that as we walk here on this earth where ever that may be we are on a mission field. As moms we are always on the field as we are called to share Christ with our children!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726416.post-1161030285721730102006-10-16T16:24:00.000-04:002006-10-16T16:24:00.000-04:00You sound a lot like me ;) Hey, you're making head...You sound a lot like me ;) Hey, you're making headway on reading too!<BR/><BR/>Your post here reminded me of a fantastic quote from Eric Simmons I read not long ago that really convicted me:<BR/><BR/>"Think about it for a moment. What kind of missionary would go to a foreign city, find a place to live, find a source of income, find where to buy food, maybe find a hobby and a wife, and then kick back and enjoy his surroundings, never befriending the locals. We wouldn’t call him a missionary. We’d call him a resident.<BR/><BR/>Some of us have lost the fact that all of us are missionaries, and we have taken up residency."<BR/><BR/>So true. Thanks again for the reminder to live a missional life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
