Praising the Lord on a Beautiful Sunday

This morning we had a chance to share with our church family some of the things that God has done in the past few days. It was an absolute joy to stand in testimony to the faithfulness of our God! We cried together as we praised Him for life. I reminded them how much this God of ours loves us, and that faith that may seem shaky from the other side of tragedy, quickly becomes firm as it is tried and tested and proven.
Our family here in Dillingham, across Alaska, in Washington, in Oregon, in California, in North Carolina, in Florida, in Spain, in France and in Colorado and across the world united to be Jesus' hands and feet to us. As they and you have prayed for us, fed us, clothed us, housed us, touched us, loved us, cried with and for us, told others about our story...you have brought smiles to our Abba's face, and there is great rejoicing in heaven as those who have not acknowledged His name have heard our testimony and found it impossible to remain in unbelief!
Kendra shared Scripture and song that the Lord gave her for this day...and rejoiced in the joy that has and is overflowing from our hearts.

  1. I am so glad that no lives we entered in our heavens that day and that your work on earth is yet not complete here on Earth. I hope and pray the God will shine the good on the entire family and community through this tragic event. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love the Vance Family in Arizona quiltalot@gmail.com
