I have a lot to catch up on here, but tonight isn't going to be the night... we'll I don't think so.. LOL
We had a good time at the GCMC, Sunday School Conference. Lots of folks there and many had very nice things to say to us about our deaf ministry. I was a little surprised after they had asked me to go to interpret, that it was advertised, but maybe that was for the best. Also saw a few people from our last church and they were surprised to see me. I guess they thought I was in NC or maybe even still Japan. They told me I had been holding out on them with the interpreting.. Not really, God has done this! So I shared that story. :)
Saturday was our 11th Anniversary! I don't know where the years have gone. I sure know one thing for sure, I cannot imagine my life without that man! He has really changed me along the years and I think we have really grown together. I am so proud to call him my husband and even more so to call him my HERO! I cannot wait til he gets home! I will have to say that after about three weeks of no contact from him, I was about to pull my hair out. It really drives me crazy. Friday night, well Saturday morning for him, I got a call.. I heard those favorite words I love to hear.. "Hey Babe.. " Yes I YELLED!!!! The girls in the car knew immediately who it was! :) I had to pull over so they could drive and I could talk. I couldn't concentrate on how to get into that McDonald's when I was so excited! :) It was great and made my day!! I have to admit though, that once we were getting off the phone I got all choked up and cried. It was happy tears, but sad at the same time. I sure miss my man!
Sunday at church was awesome! I am still battling something and trying to find the direction I am supposed to be going. I know I was brought here, well maybe I should say, I think I was brought here to start this deaf ministry. However, is it just to start and then step down or what? I am confused and I feel a leading in different ways and so unsure. Part of me feels it is the spirit of fear and that I got my confirmation of sorts on Sunday. The sweet deaf gentlemen that comes sometimes, that for some reason everyone is afraid of and says he gets offended easy over signs. Well, so far so good! :) He seems sweet to me and he just smiles at me when I mess up or I don't understand him. He is patient and I think the fact that he keeps coming back, says a lot! :) Anyway, Sunday he went to the altar and was praying! I was so excited! I prayed with him and D (deaf lady) talked to him later and he has decided to be baptized! He called me on the VP last night and asked me to call the Pastor and see if he would. I knew he would, but I called and everyone is so excited!! This will be our first deaf ministry baptizing!! I am so excited!!!!
Well, I had to share those tidbits of my last few days. I hope all of you are having a blessed week so far! :)
Hugs,
Lanitha
