God Incidences



 
   Well, we are still here in the states.  God has allowed us to be invited to South Dakota. It has been over 100 degrees so far on our way over to the Dakotas - some place new to both Kurt & I.

    Thankfulness fills our hearts for all the people who have offered to host us for different periods of time - such a blessing! (yes, it can be stressful moving every week at least once… we appreciate your prayers!) We love having the chance to truly catch up in the midst of our days with our hosts & it continues to strengthen and reaffirm our friendships.

    Well, this morning, after spending a very brief night at one of our hosts' homes, we were on the road again. At about 7:30 we were following verbal directions (always a danger when you are bleary) and we got to an intersection in the middle of nowhere, quite literally. Kurt stepped out to find a map when I heard him speaking loudly after a car turned….. then I heard him say, "Oh MY!"

    It turns out that we met up with a great friend on the side of a road in the middle of nowhere~ Isn't God GOOD??  The brief visit encouraged us greatly:)

    2-3 weeks ago, we stopped at a rest stop out of Leavenworth, WA after speaking at a church & who should we see but yet some more friends! God is so GOOD!  More encouragement from that visit, too.

   Last week, we were in the airport in Kansas City - and we see one of our pastors and his wife!  Love seeing people we know in unexpected places! Yes, it is great encouragement when you have interactions with those you care about.

   We also love getting mail from friends - especially when we live outside of the states!

   {Like} cold water to a weary soul, So is good news from a distant land.  Proverbs 25:25
