Currently Serving

Just to bring everyone up to date as to what is happening in my life right now, I’ll give you a brief summary.

I am currently living with and taking care of my grandmother who has Alzheimer’s Disease. My mom is also living with us and Dad comes on the weekends. While she is physically healthy, it is unsafe for her to live alone. The disease is about in its middle stages. We have been with her since March of this year and it’s a blessing to see how God has used us to bless her.

I lived with her for a year in 2001 for companionship and I truly believe God used it as a time to lay a foundation in our relationship, as we didn’t really know each other that well before. Isn’t it awesome how God always has a plan and always knows what’s coming next in our lives and how best to prepare us for those events? Our job is to trust Him enough to follow His leading.

Please pray for her salvation – that God would allow a moment of clarity so she might put her trust in Him for eternal life. I know seeds have been planted and I also know that nothing is impossible for God to make the increase. Please also pray that we would have the strength and wisdom to give her the very best care.

My encouragement to you as you serve God in your singleness is not to lose heart! "Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart." (2 Cor. 4:1, NASB) :-)
