"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me."
Verse 14: "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
Paul's not talking about the physical race we run on a daily basis. Our goal isn't the white tape at the end. It's the eternal reward of living with Him in peace and paradise. This is one of my favorite set of Scripture. On the eve of the National Day of Prayer, I pray that we all put aside our differences when it comes to this world's affairs and focus on helping each other become more like Him. God bless.
Two areas of note: China still has our dossier. At least they didn't kick us out! And, it looks like Katie and Aaron might be spending a couple weeks in Romania this summer, while I stay a bit longer. Pray for the final decision. We have until May 30th!

It seems we go through seasons where things are taken away....and then comes the season where God gives back in mighty ways. I think you have finally reached the "giving back" season. I will continue praying for the child that is waiting for you and your next mission trip. Honestly, I was hoping to hear more details about your last trip if you wouldn't mind sharing.
