Dear Family,
I am blessed by reading my Grandparent's
missionary story. I gave away 68 books
this week and it felt wonderful. Some
people were very excited to have this story in their hands. People said, “I love Missionary stories!” Vic
& Edith Leng were amazing Grandparents who loved God and raised children to
love Him.
I gave away, “Once upon a Mountain.”
I find it ironic that I have looked in my bookshelf and see that I kept
none of those books for myself. It is
OK. That story is out and good and in
our church library. Even better is the
book my Grandparents wrote. “Tell it to
the Next Generation.” This book was so
amazing and fabulous I typed it into the computer, published it on Amazon and,
if you want to buy it in softcover it’s there, on Amazon.com. If you want a PDF or Word version I can
e-mail it to you for free. Just
ask. I love the thought of giving away a
beautiful faith story. God is at work
all around us! Looking at the past shows
this is true.
I feel so much joy just thinking about how God is at work right now. I had a good interview with the School
District. How exciting! I interviewed for a Librarian job. Knowing that I am not blocked from working
for the School District gives me great joy.
I can sub (I applied for that as well) and this will get my foot in the
door if nothing else.
Selling books was fun. This
weekend I sold several. I enjoyed
interacting with everyone and sharing God’s love through the written word.
Bobby made a great yummy dinner this week. I love it when he chooses to cook.
Bobby is wonderful at counseling teens.
He brought me out to ice cream this week because the two teens were
female and he wanted me along. How fun. I observed him helping people grow in God
over ice cream. Yum!
Bobby’s Sinus infection is getting better. He is not coughing in the middle of the night
anymore. Seth has a cold but he says,
“It is nothing.” Seth is good at going
to bed early if he doesn’t feel well. I
love seeing him take good care of himself.
Adriel cleaned her room this week.
I loved it. She said she doesn’t
like it that way. Oh dear. Such is life.
As we focus on Thanksgiving and as we travel may God’s Angels keep us
safe. May our thoughts turn to God’s blessings
and His work in our lives. I do have to
tell you a funny story from Sunday School.
I didn’t catch the type of car but several of the gray-haired people
from our group tore up a stretch of highway.
The engine is so powerful it made such a loud noise that police were
later stretched across the highway trying to find out who had been
joyriding. The person who confessed
believed God was protecting them from consequences. They ran out of gas. They were just sitting on the side of the
road instead of getting pulled over. I
have to laugh – they were acting like teens.
I never do know how God works in these situations.
What I do know is that God’s ways are not mine. He does the unexpected. He sent rain when it had never rained
before. He has sent Hail, Fire, and
turned a person into salt. He has parted
waters, shut the mouths of lions and saved people from the middle of a
fire. My God is a God of surprises! May you look and see what he has done for
you. Much love, Cristy
