little taking on big

Today I saw the most interesting thing in front of my house. I saw a bird that was hysterically happy! He was working as diligently as he could on a very large snake that had been killed on the road.

Now think of this from his perspective...giant worm! It surely was the happiest day of this little birds life!

I feel this way often, as if I'm little taking on big.

With God's help I have had the opportunity to try some things that are impossible in my own strength and ability. And every once in a while He grants me the David vs Goliath victory. It's then that I feel the same happiness that the little bird felt!

PS ...that was one ugly snake - although it was thought provoking!

phone call from Asia

Well, I started writing on my blog an hour and a half ago, then our kids called from Asia - via the greatest invention ever - Skype! We talked for over an hour, what a blessing to hear from them for the first time in several days, God is good!

We talked about the future, great details about their trip to Asia and how they were just beginning to miss home...then it happened, as we talked we heard the room on the other end fill with screams (not what you want to hear when your kids are across the world)!! We soon discovered that a small snake had slithered across the bedroom floor! Such is the life of a missionary. Needless to say this brought our conversation to a screamin' halt!

They will be home next weekend God willing, cannot wait to hear the stories!
