Master and Teacher

We wanted to share this link with all of you! - www.rbc.org/utmost/index.php - The point in this study on September 22nd was whether or not we allow God to be the Master over our lives. My Utmost For His Highest website (John 13:13,16) "To have a master and teacher is not the same thing as being mastered and taught. Having a master and teacher means that there is someone who knows me better than I know myself, who is closer than a friend, and who understands the remotest depths of my heart and is able to satisfy them fully. It means having someone who has made me secure in the knowledge that he has met and solved all the doubts, uncertainties, and problems in my mind. To have a master and teacher is this and nothing less— '. . . for One is your Teacher, the Christ . . .' ( Matthew 23:8 )." We had a very busy, but a great weekend!! We took the Hispanic Children in Action on an imaginary mission trip to Moldova. They had their boarding pass in hand, assigned seating as on an airplane, sound effects of jet engines, announcements pre-recorded of the pilot and flight attendant's announcements, etc. Myra baked a Moldovan Easter Sweet Bread, and they all seemed to enjoy it. We drove to Kite, GA to visit with Larry and Dianne Martin on Saturday, and they gave us some valuable insight on church planting efforts in Moldova. On Sunday, we spoke at our home church, Hampton First Baptist Church asking them to be one of our prayer partnering churches while we are in Moldova. On Sunday evening we shared with the members of Lovejoy First Baptist Church, who will also be one of our prayer partnering churches. We know that Satan tries to edge his way in when anyone is trying to do the Will of God, but through the power of prayer Jesus showed us by example, that all things are possible with God!! We love you and pray God's blessings in your life!! Smile, God loves you!
