I've been saved for exactly 17 years today. So much has happened that it confuses me to even try to think about it. Everything from 3 years of being ostracized by my family to joining the army, being in the army for 4 years and then Bible college. Meeting Erika, getting married, having a miscarriage, having a baby (Ashley) to starting a whirl-wind tour of the US on deputation. Seeing souls saved and living for God both in Mexico and the US, meeting unbelievable people, and basking in God's glory at every turn. It's been a great trip and I can't imagine what God has in store for the next 17 years.
Today was a good day. I booked one meeting and made several good contacts to follow up on. I was "unpeaceful" about where to go to church tonight, so I prayerfully narrowed it down to 3 and finally made the decision after supper. It turned out to be great--we attended a great church close-by, and it was exactly what God intended for us. The pastor was out of town, and the missions director of the church invited me to show our DVD and to preach. Everything was so obviously in God's control. We had a great time and were in awe and wonder at how God puts things together. They gave us a handsome love offering and a couple in the church gave us an awesome love-gift. We were just going to visit and see if we could get a meeting some other time, and we already had the meeting!
What a wonderful way to celebrate my spiritual birthday! God has truly looked out for me and He really blessed me unusually well today.
