Through the Lord alone

Because I've left most people out in the dark...read on for a brief update on what the Lord is doing in me and the ministry of Lakeshore Baptist Church....

• I returned from Atlanta last month from my interviews with NAMB. Lord willing I will be finding out officially in the next couple weeks if I will be an approved missionary.
• March and April were pretty amazing, many groups and a lot being accomplished.
• Mrs. Diane's house is almost complete...just waiting on the county to install the grinder.
• We began 2 new houses. (the Boyds and Calhouns)
• My little home has been started.
• Lord willing in the next week I will get to do a little traveling between Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Kentucky.
• I've been enjoying experimenting and cooking...I don't cook much, but I love to learn and try things for myself.
• May is low with the number of volunteers, but we do have an Americorp group that is staying on site and helping us out for a few weeks.
• I've been enjoying time with Britt and Liz (a couple of our long term volunteers.)
• I helped Tyvek for the first time ever (I send out people to do all these things and I watch them, so every now and then I like to put myself to the test to see if I am capable of doing come of these things). I installed collar ties for the first time too - I hope they are even enough to hang sheetrock on.
• I've been reading Galatians in the mornings and trying to read a bunch of different books in the evenings.
  
• I enjoyed seeing and spending time with the returning group from Providence Baptist Church in Franklin MA that was here last week. I've never seen a group consume so many snickers and m&m's.
• The Lord continues to work in Lakeshore and in my life - conforming me more and more into his image. He's teaching me and reteaching me things through his Word and the counsel of other believers. I am grateful for all the Lord is doing in my life, the folks who I work with, and among the people in the community. May the Lord continue to be glorified and praised.
