Esther does most of the blogging, but today I feel the need to blog! The day was going well when we found out that another couple joined our launch team and is committing to tithing each month starting NOW!! I pray that God will bless them 100 fold for believing us and partnering with us on our vision to plant a life-giving church in El Paso. Planning, building the team, and fundraising are going very well. God has honored our faithfulness and we are truly humbled by His love for us and this city. However, the reason I am blogging is for something far greater. Out of the blue my six year old daughter Elise gave her life to Christ at the dinner table tonight. She was able to fully explain what it meant to do that so Heaven is rejoicing because she gave her life to the LORD! I will have the privilege of baptizing her on our very first day of services. God is so faithful and He loves us so much. All we have to do is love Him back and He creates a life for you that is far beyond what you deserve and even beyond what you can dream. "For I know the plans I have for you, "declares the LORD, plans to proper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future" -Jeremiah 29:11
Although we live in an imperfect world and still struggle greatly at times, the LORD is good and worthy of all our praise! Give your life to HIM completely and all of Heaven will rejoice for you as it is for Elise.
