How has your week been?

My week has been kind of a blur. I've had the "crud" all this week and my head has been foggy - okay---foggier than normal :) . It's been really weird because I haven't had typical cold or flu symptoms. No fever or stomach issues. Just a scratchy throat and non-stop head pressure. I rarely have headaches and so this ongoing pressure has been weird. Today has been better overall so I hope it's about over.

Thanks for praying for me and my family this week. I know that many of you have been praying earnestly for us during the trial of the past month. The things that needed to take place this week did and we saw God's hands in it. He is so good to remind us of His great care and concern for everything in our lives --- even when life seems to be spinning out of control. Life really is never out of control. God's always in control but we are not. Imagine that. I'm still learning that concept.

Keep praying for us. There is still a challenging road ahead to travel. Thank the Lord He knows the way.

In other news, everything is still on for our Cuba trip March 21-28. I have had a few people ask me if Fidel's announcement will impact our trip. I don't expect that it will. I really don't believe there will be any changes on the island until Fidel and his brother Raul are long gone. Our trip is only one month away. We're taking our biggest group yet - 17 including six high school students on spring break. I think it's amazing that they want to spend their vacation doing missions work. God is at work!

I'm really excited about this Sunday at Capstone. We're going to be talking about the spiritual warfare that we face and how God can work miracles even in the times when the enemy is in full attack mode. If you're in the middle of your own battle, be there this Sunday. If you can't make it, you can listen on Capstone's website beginning Tuesday afternoon.

Thanks for continuing to stop by!
