It is May, it is spring, and we give praise to God for His goodness in giving us this blessed season! The trees are in bloom (and some of us have the red noses and watery eyes to show for it!), and the daffodils, crocuses, and hyacinths reveal their beauty. What a sweet time of renewal for all of creation! But even this is only a shadow of what is to come, "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. " (Isaiah 65:17)
We've entertained a number of guests thus far: Ronald; Robert; Zechariah; Brian; Mike; Thomas; Steve; to name a few. Each of these have blessed us in the unique ways in which God designed this to be, and the Lord has touched every one of them as He intended to do with this little stop in the journey of their lives. Thomas still remains with us, as he goes through the process of obtaining his documents to get a proper ID so he can find employment.
The big news is Big Mike! We have a disciple in the mission! Big Mike comes to us to begin the New Life program, where he will be taking classes and moving along through a program which is life-changing. How much it changes one's life is up to the one who is involved in it. A disciple in the New Life program also helps out at the mission in a variety of ways, so this is a special blessing to Brian and Chaplain Dave. We praise God for sending Big Mike our way, and pray that Mike's heart will be open and obedient to the ways in which God intends to instruct and reshape his life. This, too, is evidence of the Lord making all things new, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17) Praise the Lord!
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1)
