EXPERIENCING GOD

EXPERIENCING GOD
(Special thanks to my new friend Rachel who taught me how to copy and paste!)



Friends and Family,

The children and I were having "bible time" last evening, where everyone has their own time with the Lord, and then shares what they learned and/or any impressions they received from God or the bible, etc. It has been quite awhile since we've done this and this reinforced to me that we need to do it a lot more! The sharing was precious. I read the following and thought of the call on us to adopt Heidy and Andres and have Deb away for 5 weeks...and how that is certainly a "God-sized" call! And that led me to think of all of you. From Blackaby and King's, "Experiencing God"...

"When God purposes to do something through you, the assignment will have God-sized dimensions. This is because God wants to reveal Himself to you and those around you. If you can do the work in your own strength, people will not come to know God. However, if God works through you to do what only He can do, you and those around you will come to know Him."

Isn't that cool?! Our prayer is that for all of us, and all of you that have allowed God to work through you in our lives, that we will all experience and come to know God at a deeper level.

Thanking God for his grace through you to us.

Pete

P.S. Deb- feel free to post this on our blog, and/or forward along to other friends that have helped...I could not everyone's email.....pls also forward to Adopolis and CDA friends...
