Sap Season Begins!!

“Be still and know that I am God.”  Psalm 46:10

Take a break. . . let your hands fall. . . relax. . . I am God. This is not always easy for me to do with my personality (Lee’s) but God IS in control and He WILL work to accomplish His will.

It’s been a great couple of months.  God has continued to open doors and stir people’s hearts.  We have had the opportunities to meet with a missions committee, talk with a missions' chairperson and work on setting up a time to share in a church.  We have also shared God’s calling with families and individuals;  At times we were blessed by prayers and others by tears. 

Currently we stand at 58% of our one time goal!  We are thankful for each and every one of you who have graciously given and have partnered with us!  Keep praying for our monthly support!

The end of January brings a favorite time of the year for us.  It is time to start tapping trees and collecting the sap to cook down into maple syrup.  We thought last year would very possibly be our last sap season, but God has blessed us with one more to enjoy!
