Trecking on!

What a blessing it is to be a part of the body of Christ.  There are so many ways we have been blessed this week and its only tuesday.   We have received two emails from ladies at Sylvan Lake Alliance who just wanted to encourage us.  Then we received a package from Rocky Mnt Alliance, who took the time to send us valentines goodies and a letter to the girls.  This week my mother in law will be speaking at a Missions night and sharing on behalf of my mom and Grandma as well.   I just read her speech, and I am amazed at how big our God is!  We haven't even the slightest clue how He is using our lives, not just us but your lives too.  We have no idea how He uses our obedience to work in the lives of our fellow brothers and sisters.  Isn't it an amazing privilege just to be apart of the journey? What an encouragement to see the body functioning as a body with all its parts moving.  Some in Costa Rica others in Sylvan Lake Alberta and another in Rocky Mnt House Alberta and still others in Calgary and Abbotsford British Columbia.  To explain what this support feels like I would say it is being LOVED.  Today Julia turns two and we will probably make some birthday pudding (don't laugh its easier than cake) and she loves it.  Nathan spoke in a special teachers chapel today and he spoke in ESPANOL.  It is truely amazing to think after just 6 months Nathan was able to inspire and exhort us from scripture passionately and with conviction.  I even heard a few AMENS!   He spoke on unity in the body of Christ and how we function like a beautiful song with many different parts, sopranos, tenors, base and melody.  No part can be replaced or think that it is more important than any other.  That is how we glorify our Father by living in humility and in harmony through the unity of the Holy Spirit. 

 Now that we are almost half way done our second trimester it feels physically and mentally tiring but we never forget the privilege that it is to be here.  What an amazing privilege to be Christ's and your representatives in Costa Rica.  

Feliz Cumpleanos Julia!
