Greetings
Colleagues, Leaders, and Prayer Warriors,
Today
I want to thank God for all of you and your families. Through your payers we
have seen the hand of God over us. Through your words of encouragement our hope
is renewed day by day. Through our storm, God has made it an opportunity for
the pine and the cypress of our life to show their strength and their stability.
Through it all, our faith has been made strong and we are praying that your
faith is getting stronger as you stand on the sideline watching the power of
God in our trials. I encourage you to don’t stop the work of which the Lord has
given you to do. Be faithful.
An update on Kevina and
Chaplain Santucci’s health;
Kevina is improving but still needs your
prayers. As for myself, my pain is easing off and the
swelling is going down in my eye and face.
Tomorrow will be a full day for all of us as Kevina has two appointments
and I have three. One of my appointments will be with a dentist to get my smile
back. If I didn't tell you already, I had a tooth that was compromised in the
accident. Thank God the hospital made a call to the Harvard School of Dental
Medicine and they are willing to work on me to correct this. They will start
that work at 11:00 am tomorrow morning July 16, 2015.
Let us keep Jonathan in prayer that God will make
Him and all our young adults a blessing to wherever He sends them. Karon sends her love to all and let’s keep
her in prayer. We glorify God in
our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance,
character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because
God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy
Spirit, who has been given to us. ROMANS 5:3-5
Today you may be going through a storm or
know of someone that is going through a storm. My words to you and them are, Hold
on! “And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through,
how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really
over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be
the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.” Haruki
Murakami
In the words of Willa Cather, “There are some
things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.” Though it all the greatest lesson
we have learn is LOVE in this world of self and sin. Praise God He
will allow our storms to come our way to work out His plan and purpose
for true success and kingdom building in our lives and the lives of
others. “If patience is
worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last
in the midst of the blackest storm.” Mahatma Gandhi
Truly God knows how to still put a smile on our face through it all. With nothing more but Jesus to hold on to, I can say like Job, “The LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. JOB 1:21
We love all of you.

A prayer song: Praise Ye
the Lord The Almighty
