Step by Step Up the Mountain

The picture here is of Gary and our son Timothy hiking up a mountain, step by step, side by side. This scene reminds me of God’s faithfulness. God is always there walking with us, empowering us for whatever steps we must climb to get to the top of our mountain. The top of the mountain for Gary and me is LIBERIA. The steps are many and steep, but God is faithful to walk with us each step of the climb.

Part of those steps this past month has been related to Gary’s job—–the uncertainty of when the job will end, where to go next while waiting to go back to LIBERIA, and a sudden transfer to California which did not turn out. During this time, Gary caught a violent strain of flu which turned into pneumonia. He is sick in bed.

At this point in time our trailer home is in storage, and we are living with my sister Carol and her husband Buzz. They both felt that God wanted them to help us get to Liberia sooner, by providing a free place to live. And a boy named Owen from a small Christian church, gave us his double bed. Isn’t God good? Step by step and side by side He walks with us, leading the way!
