Good stuff

I awoke anxious this a.m. And then the Lord gave me His reassurance through the words of Jeremy Taylor (excuse the old English):

It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent; and can do whatsoever He please. Let us rest there awhile,--He can, if He please: and He is infinitely loving, willing enough; and He is infinitely wise, choosing better for us than we can do for ourselves. God invites and cherishes the hopes of men by all the variety of His providence. He that believes does not make haste, but waits patiently, till the times of refreshment come, and dares trust God for the morrow, and is no more solicitous (fearful) for the next year than he is for that which is past.

Thanks Lord.

English Camp

It's been a busy summer (as you might have guessed from my lack of entries). My most recent adventure was cooking for an English camp for German kids. It was an exhausting 2 weeks but every bit of worth it. God was very evidently at work in their lives so I'm grateful for the privilege of fixing food for 60! The menus (which were planned for me) included chicken curry as the banquet meal!

I had lots of good help (from fellow BFA staff members and other missionaries from the community). It was interesting to observe what different women found important in the kitchen!!

Life is good. I'm tired, but grateful for all the opportunities the Lord gave me for ministry this summer. See www.xanga.com/mereeser for more photos!
