As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Our world, our lives … can be hard, crazy, way-too-busy, exciting, scary, beautiful, uncertain, lonely, painful, and unexpectedly sweet. Up and down, back and forth, always changing.
So what a gift, what a solid anchor it is to know that HE never changes. Strong and steady. Always faithful. To be reminded that whatever shifts around us, THIS is the main thing.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
To do our best with the days and the talents we’ve been given. To bring glory to Him. To love others.
In between the usual summer camps and sports schedules, our family will be heading out soon with our church to come alongside another local church in Mexico. We’ll be helping to build houses for two extended families there, along with facilitating a Vacation Bible School.
Of course, as we’ve been preparing for our trip, along with practical household items we’re gathering to share with the families, I had to sneak in some pretty art for the as-yet-unconstructed walls of the new homes.
A few weeks ago, we baked up a storm and cleaned out the garage for a Saturday morning yard-sale-bake-sale-fundraising-extravaganza.
We’re looking forward to what the Lord has in store for all of us, as we step out in faith to share His love and goodness in this concrete way. And we would absolutely love your prayers –for the team, the families, the logistics, and most of all, that God would be glorified.
And if you’d like to help support the trip in another tangible way, I put together a super special, limited edition Instant Art Collection in the Hope Ink shop. It includes the brand new Serve print, in both English and Spanish versions, along with three more travel and hospitality themed designs!
This collection is extra meaningful to me because of what it represents, and I would love to share it with as many of you as I can. So, unlike physical prints that need to be shipped, you can download these instantly! Many of you have asked for this option in the past, so let me know what you think and if it’s something you’d like to see more of.
The Limited Edition Journey Collection is just $10 for all five designs – an 80% savings! Hurry though, because it’s only available this week (ends Friday, July 27th).
Thank you, friends, for your prayers and encouragement. Looking forward to sharing more about our adventure with you soon.
Also, how are these babies old enough to go on a mission trip?!
