I will be praying for you, my friend.

I have been happy, at times happier, and at times disappointed. Currently I am not wishing anything at all and am not thinking at all...just surfing. Just waiting, just waiting, just waiting...

Honestly, Rhoni

I LOVE being a Pastor's wife; can't imagine doing anything else. I love people and I love administration. God has been very good to us! There are more things that I desire to do, but that will be in God's timing if it's right.

Sherri, you are very good at what you are doing. I loved seeing all those offices and your all´s setup. In God´s time He will open doors and when He does YOU will know it is His timing. Love you, my friend.
You sure made some kids happy around our house! You ought to see the list of what they want me to cook with the money you sent...

I have been thinking about this topic for several months. I do believe everyone has a calling. When you find that calling and minister in that calling you are the happiest and most productive. I did some reading last year on Pentecostal pioneers- ministers who were at the foreground of the apostolic movement - the ones that were successful found their calling / gifting and stayed in it. Those who stepped out of their calling or gift most of the time damaged their ministry. This is just an observation, not an indictment against anyone or any movement. I think it is so important for us to keep God at the center of our lives.

It is so important to follow God. Real happiness is being in the will of God. I wept in prayer today for several couples that I know that are out of the will of God. Sometimes it is greed and pride not to mention fortune and fame that have been a downfall to many.

I think missionary kids should be taken care of! I have a special heart for them, I guess because Eddie grew up that way.

Am I happy with my calling?
Mmmmmmm....
I'm not quite sure what it is, but so far it seems to be more like a "handy man" type calling. Helping out someone with something. Giving a little money to someone else. Etc.....
