Home Alone???
I hope you aren’t thinking that I got lost on my way home and that I am still wandering around the countryside. I actually returned home on September 2nd. Coming home to an empty house was difficult, and in many ways still is. Adjusting to being truly on my own is taking time. But the Lord spoke to me as I was driving through the state of Washington heading west to Oregon, that I would not be alone. Jesus reminded me of what he said in John 14:23, “if anyone loves me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and made our abode with him.” So, even though I am only having to cook for one, there are actually three of us at home here, four if you count the Holy Spirit.
I keep in touch with Wil by cell phone and Facebook. His birthday is coming up on October 25. Send him a note to encourage him as that date approaches. He is doing well and enjoying his new life as a college student.
I have been trying to keep busy with activities related to OMF; contact making in campuses here, with missions prayer meetings and my local church involvement.
My vegetable garden is nearing its end of productivity. Only squash, tomatoes and carrots left now. Karen’s dahlia beds are in full bloom however and really brighten up the outside of my home, and the inside when I cut some and bring them in.
Thank you to all of you who have written to assure me of your continued care and prayer. That has been a real encouragement to me. God bless you all.
