So often we plan out what we are going to do and we run way ahead of God. The hardest part about being a Christian for me is to wait for the Lord. Dezi so often reminds me that all of our plans have been changed, tweaked, deleted, revised, dismissed or put on hold most of our married lives. Sometimes, God reveals a plan to us but we are too busy with our own agenda that we entirely miss what God has put right before us.
It’s been a year now since our move to Phoenix and there have been many ‘changes’ in our lives and ministry this past year. It was a difficult year, a year that ended with us still waiting on the Lord in many of our unanswered questions and in the need for direction. We are learning to wait on the Lord, to be strong and take heart, and wait. (Psalm 27:`4). In the mean time we have been provided an amazing opportunity to work alongside a Taiwanese sister we met while at CCV who reaches out to other Chinese students on the universities here in Phoenix. Pictured below is our clan along with a group of Chinese students that hiked up the arduous Squaw Peak in Phoenix. It was a great time to get to know many of them and more outings are already being scheduled. They have come from Taiwan, China, Singapore and Hong Kong right here to our doorstep. They are open to friendship and we pray they will be open to the Gospel as we get to know them. Please pray for further divine appointments in our efforts to minister to them.
