A South African Mission Experience. While our team was out evangelizing, we knocked on a door and this beautiful young lady answered. “My mother is not home and she told me not to go out or let anyone in. But can you pray for me?” We stopped in the hall, on the stairs, and at the door to pray for this young lady who knew the Lord and the power of prayer. I was deeply moved by this encounter and felt woefully inadequate in my faith and conviction. This was one of many life-changing encounters on our trip that I still am “grappling with”. I feel like I found a part of me there but I also left a part of me there as well. Pastor Fynn told us we were “born in the United States, but we were created in Africa.”
Glad the tomb is empty.
I can’t promise that I won’t make mistakes. I can’t promise you that rainbows wilI always roll across our skies. I can’t promise you that dark clouds will never hover over our lives. I can’t promise you that our life will be perfect or void of troubles. I can promise you my everlasting love and devotion. I can promise you my unconditional love. I can promise you I will be by your side through any and all trials and tribulations you\we face. I promise to encourage you and to protect you. I promise to pray with you, to dream with you, to grow with you, and stand tall in our love because I know it is rooted in the God that ordained this union. I promise to always strive to keep this smile not only on your face but in your heart and soul. I promise. I love you sweetheart and pray that He is pleased with my efforts. Glad the tomb is empty.
A friend asked me what was the worst mistake I ever made with a woman... it was misjudging my wife's love for me and not trusting her with my heart because my love and emotions tell others who I really am. Can I trust her or anybody with ME? I guarded me so much I failed to see her offer me HER... God told me to let her love me and He would fill in the blanks that created my doubts. I love you sweetheart in the clouds on Table Top Mountain in Capetown South Africa.
Glad the tomb is empty.
