Working it Out

"--continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his own purpose." Phil 2:12b-13.

Our salvation was realized and secured on the cross a couple thousand years ago. Although we have eternal life promised to us we must still work on our salvation out of respect to and for God so that we may hear, see and discern His purpose, His will and His agenda.
When our circumstances don't match our will and we are suffering as a result of our valleys it is crucial to trust God totally and completely for whatever resolution we may face. We must not try to calculate or manipulate the workings of God and must simply kneel, meditate and "know" that He is in charge of every detail of our life which will always be based in love.
Please continue to pray for Beth, Paul and Sydney as they battle her cancer and pray for each to discern what the Holy Spirit is revealing to them as they work out their salvation.
Father, through the Holy Spirit reveal to each of us the manner in which our salvation will be worked out aligning our lives with your spirit. In your holy name, Amen.

Brenda, it has been awhile since I posted. I just thank the Lord that God has given you and Bruce a heart for ministry, not only for Beth, but others as well.

Beck and Benay, you will never know how much your involvement with Beth means to mom and me. Your staying with her gives her hope and encouragement.

Beth, your ministry is flourishing through your life as others are moved to accept Christ as Lord and Savior of their lives.

Girls, you have made us PROUD!!!

Hope you guys, Brenda & Bruce, have a great time in App. Country.

Build the fire bright, eat & eat, and play on the computer.

Have a safe trip back.
