Indescribable

........That is the only word I can use to describe today..... The Lord has just shown us today how much He wants to get all of His children involved in what Matt and I are doing for Him by going to the Philippines....

This morning we shared about what the Lord is doing in our lives with the people of Cowpen's First Baptist.... It was a great time!!!! I had not been there in a while but the Lord was there with us this morning....It was good to see that the Lord is up to something there..... I love the people there so much.... It was kind of emotional to be there because the last time I was there was at my grandma Maudie's funeral over 2 years ago.... Many of you may not know this but Cowpen's First is where I went to church for the first part of my life.... I want to to give a special shout out to 3 young girls, Hope, Anna, and I think Sara.... They sang Days of Elijah and really ushered in the Lord's Spirit.... There group is called "Hosanna" You girls were great!!! The church took up a love offering for us and blessed our socks off....

This evening we spoke at a great church, Carlisle Wesleyan Church. This is my friend Dennis' church.... He leads the choir and his dad is the preacher.... They were so nice and welcoming to us just like their preacher and Dennis....Dennis is a GREAT friend of mine and has been for years...It was great to spend the evening with them..... The Lord used them tonight to encourage Matt and I so much..... After we shared they gathered around us to lay hands on us and pray, and they prayed down Heaven on us.... IT WAS AWESOME!!!! They blessed us too with a GINORMOUS love offering....... AND.......because of their generosity...that blew us away....THE LORD HAS PROVEN HE WILL MEET ALL OF OUR NEEDS ABOVE AND BEYOND ALL THAT WE COULD ASK!!!!

Our total as of tonight 31,195.....and counting......

To all of the new readers that will join me from Cowpens and Carlisle over the next few days..... I can not thank you enough for today.... Your faithfulness and generosity have blown us away..... I will remember the joy of today for a long time!!!!! Thanks seems such a small word....I wish I could make it bigger.... O wait I know..

THANKS!!!!! That is as big as I can get...... :0)
