I've been here just over two weeks now and in these two short weeks I have been here it seems like I have heard two passages of scripture over and over again! Whether I have been in conversations with other people, in staff prayer, evening devotion, meeting with my participants, watching the sound of music, or church, these verses just keep showing up. So they're going in the blog:
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the mountains - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed he who watches over Israel will neither slumber no sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
I realize that these are two of the more commonly cited passages of scripture, but I've been a bit overwhelmed at how often I have come across them recently. Now that I think about it the two passages complement each other really well. The passage from proverbs (the passage I came across first) tells us what to do - to trust the Lord. And how do we know we can trust the Lord? Psalm 121 reassures us that He is watching over us and will keep me us from harm.
How are our paths made straight, how are we kept from harm? Trusting in Him.

Hey Wenchie Wenchie! I was just getting an update on the goings on in Kentucky even though I talked to you last night and I realized that I never gave you Grandma Kindschuh's address. So here is the address for Smoky Lake where they will be until early October:
Box #302
Phelps, WI 54554
And here is their address in Rock Island which is where they should be for the rest of Oct, Nov, and part of Dec:
1337 21st Ave. #5C
Rock island, IL 61201-4411
And then they go out to California but I'm sure if you correspond with Grandma she'll become the greatest pen pal you've ever had so she'll let you know where they'll be. I know she would be absolutely thrilled to hear from you and see what you've been doing. I love/miss you Wench and I'll talk to you soon!
