What grows then that doesn't in the dry season. My excitement will be on what is growing under your ministry. Of course Jesus will come, but in the meantime we're left to tend the garden.TexasGuckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461495855018801977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504376871650388020.post-60569755070608195762009-03-25T09:41:00.000-07:002009-03-25T09:41:00.000-07:00My mom keeps telling me as she works on "cleaning ...My mom keeps telling me as she works on "cleaning out" the house, the closets, etc that she wants everything in order for the Rapture to be a good testimony to the unbelieving world.<BR/><BR/>While my head knows that HE could come at any minute, I don't think I have her mindset. Personally, I think God is set to allow some persecution to come to the church in the U.S. b/c we are too comfortable in our Christianity. I could be wrong - HE could come in the air before I finish this.<BR/><BR/>I remember my g'parents thinking the rapture was very imminent. I wonder if as we get older and see how much society continues to spiral downward we begin to think more about Christ's return? I'm not sure . . . but it's worth thinking about.<BR/><BR/>In any case, we need to be DOING what God calls us to do (just as you currently are) - not just sitting and waiting for Him to return - Paul cautioned against that. So press on, dear ones!<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, if persecution is on the horizon, we need to be preparing ourselves for that as we have no idea (we being Christians in America) what the Church around the world has endured. But the TRUE Church always thrives under persecution.<BR/><BR/>Rain is coming here today as well - and as usual we need it!<BR/><BR/>Love to all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504376871650388020.post-72820229135471779992009-03-25T05:41:00.000-07:002009-03-25T05:41:00.000-07:00Hey there---I need to hook you up with some Misty ...Hey there---I need to hook you up with some Misty Edwards songs - she sings about the rain and Jesus coming back (obviously that is not all she sings about...but a couple of her songs).

I can totally hear ...Hi Corrie and John (kids too). I can totally hear you mom saying that you are wrong about Christ's return and see your dad's smile when he said "we live in exciting times". I love the smell of rain, just before it comes and the skies look like they are swelled up. I bet it smells like that there for weeks before the rain comes. You are the first missionaries I have had contact with in any fashion and I am excited to read and know about your fearlessly living.
