Sunday morning our Pastor spoke on the ministry of refreshment that Paul writes about in 2 Timothy 1:15-18. It was an amazing little passage that honestly I have just skimmed over in the past and yet it spoke VOLUMES to my heart! I have never really thought about it much but now that I do think about it - I have been so blessed to have many in my life that have refreshed me through the years....These two beautiful young ladies are no exception! They truly brought some MUCH needed refreshment to my life throughout the past week!Tab (on the left) and Katy (on the right) were in our youth group in Bayfield and truly are like our other daughters (we share them occassionally with their biological families! Hee hee). They made the journey from Bayfield to come see us for a whole WEEK!! Ok, so they SAID they came to check out Wayland and make preparations to attend there in January but I know it was to see us!!!
For me, this could not have come at a better time. Without going into a lot of detail, really not necessary or the time to go into it, suffice it to say that I have been really struggling the past month or so physically, spiritually, emotionally, etc. Now, PRAISE GOD HE has helped me through that and I am so much closer to Him than I have EVER been... However, just like you feel weak after an extended illness although the illness is gone that is where I was when these precious girls arrived! Yet God in ALL of His wisdom and mercy knew that I needed some SERIOUS refreshing!!!
If you have ever been around Tab or Katy, especially together, you know that these two are like a breath of fresh air! Just with their presence they can bring life into your being and revive and awaken you - which is EXACTLY what they did for me! We laughed, we talked, we played, and laughed some more, we explored, we rested and did I mention that we LAUGHED! I just love how they blend right in with our family and it was as though we had never been gone! I truly needed this past week to rejuvenize and refresh me to continue on with the work here in Borger. I am thankful that Jesus placed these two BEAUTIFUL young ladies in my life "For such a time as this."
Now that I have been refreshed, hopefully I will get back to blogging regularly cause I really miss it! Love ya all!!!!

Glad you got to have time with them. Being far away from family sure makes visits from friends and family so much more special. God knows your needs! Love and miss you!
