1 Corinthians 3:4-9

"For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere men?

What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building."

My friend Ale


Brooke and Ale
Sometimes in life we encounter things that were not exactly what we had planned. Sometimes it starts to rain and we find we have fogotten our umbrella. Sometimes we realize we have a flat tire on the car we are driving and realize we do not have a spare. Sometimes everything seems to be going just as planned and then something in the road that causes a detour...

Ever experienced anything like that?

Our friend, Ale, is experiencing something like that right now...details are simply that what she thought God's was plan for her now seems to have totally done a dar vuelta - a 180 degree turn...

Please pray today for her to reside in the knowledge of the wisdom and soundness of our God. Pray for the strength of the Holy Spirit to fill her. Pray that in this time right now, she might be a messenger of the gospel to those around her, especially her immediate family. Pray that in all things she will rejoice in the Lord, Jesus Christ. Pray for her to trust solely in Him and that even now, he is sovereign and knowledgeable beyond all her human comprehension.

Gracias, Dios, por la amistad entre Ale y yo. Gracias porque tu eres todopoderoso, generoso, rico en misericordia. Gracias porque tu tienes la vida de ella en sus manos. Gracias por la vida hermosa de Ale y gracias por su familia. Te pido por la oportunidad para compartir el evangelio con su familia entre este tiempo aunque dificil, es un tiempo para alabarte porque tu sabes la plan que tu tengas para todos nosotros, y para Ale. Te alabo, Dios, por tu sabiduria, tu amor y la esperanza podemos tener en ti. Te pido que tu des a ella la paz que es perfectamente encontrada en ti. Te pido que ella confie solomente en ti. Te pido para que ella te diera gozo y alabo. Te amo, Señor, mi Dios. En el nombre de tu Hijo, Jesucristo, Amen.

Just finished reading some of your recent blogs-your thoughts are so encouraging and interesting! Esp. the ones about homeschooling and the plant that folds up; I decided to Google it and watch it--it was totally amazing! Our God is amazing! And it was good to be reminded that school is so much more than just textbooks. I so often am guilty of just trying to make sure our kids get their assigned lessons done and forget the hands-on lessons they learn from just being outdoors in nature or from working side by side with them at their jobs, whether in the kitchen or in the garden, etc.
Glad to hear the girls were of such big help--we miss Cherilyn greatly but are glad she has this opportunity to serve in Costa. We pray for you guys often! Love ya!-Rhoda
