It's true, life is messy. Decisions have to be made, bills have to be paid, responsibilities have to be taken care of, and relationships have to be maintained. When you put two sinners together in a home, in a marriage, and in a family it just gets messy. And when it does it's so easy to point out the other persons faults. We have hit that phase of messiness as we try and figure out how to balance our family life, ministry and seminary. One friend said, it's like learning a new dance. It's hard at first and you may step on each others toes, but in time you figure out how to dance beautifully together. I've never been much of a dancer... But, I know someone who has and that person knows how to dance perfectly. Therefore, He is the One who can take the messiest dancer and teach them how to dance with their partner one step at a time.
Somehow the Lord graciously enabled us to two-step our way into our first Bible Study this past Monday night. We began the book of John with 5 other residents who we now call friends. Porsche is one of our new friends who shared that coming to this Bible study was one of her first steps in getting back on the right path. We don't know the details of the “wrong path”, but we all know we have one too and can easily step back on that wrong path daily. That evening we saw seven souls, including us, who were eager to walk on the right path of knowing Jesus Christ more intimately together. In my struggle to be patient I want to ask you to pray that we learn this “new dance” quickly. However, I need to ask you to pray that we cling to the One who is teaching us instead. Thank you, Emily
