Especially knowing that your Dad served in Papua New Guinea. My step father was in the Navy and he told about going ashore and these naked native came out of the jungles and tried to converse with them. He said they were frighten because of the stories of head hunters which they did do back then. My step father too did not share the worst. I have seen lots of old film from the war, horrible place to fight in. so many died from malaria and denge fever that got them before a bullet could. There are war relic left in the jungles and underneath the ocean for deep sea divers to see. <br /><br />Hope this day finds you with some relief from the pain. I am sending a fb message on something I am trying for my fibermyagia. It has helped me greatly. Love you my friend.

You did not paint the surroundings of Mission work to be something beautiful-instead you described everything in its actual light~!<br /><br />I believe God has really blessed both of you with this experience, and something tells me there is much more HE has for you to do! Even if its sharing your stories of living, loving, worshiping in a far away land-that only few can really grasp!<br /><br />You have gifted so many with this amazing story! My heart is touched. It also gives me the reminder of my Dad telling me about being in New Guinea during WWII...<br /><br />He never took the story beyond describing his surroundings, the heat, rain-the worst was something that stayed silent in his heart.<br /><br />Thank you Betty.

I know how it is to visit a blog hurriedly, skimming through the words, half reading, absentmindedly what the blog author had taken time to put together and write, and then leave without saying anything.<br /><br />A few times in the past I had done this, until I decided that I would choose only a few blogs to read in a day, read wholeheartedly, and then leave a response. That way I honor the blog author, and actually, I honor God who is the real author of all our life stories.<br /><br />Your post brought tears to my eyes. I can just imagine the painful emotions that went through your heart as you sat in that thatched roofed church, for the last time. <br /><br />And I can relate with your list of first times and last times.<br /><br />Jesus is coming soon. It won't be long... Meanwhile, He holds our lives in His hands!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />LidiaCrown of Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993686012020045284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4803438520720402383.post-46563074024955739462012-07-31T07:05:25.587-07:002012-07-31T07:05:25.587-07:00Diane, your heart for mission always encourages me...Diane, your heart for mission always encourages me.

It began raining and we could hardly hear but it didn't slow them down. It's an open-air church, so the rain was blowing in, but everyone just scrunched closer. Tears flowed very heavily from my eyes, wondering if and when I'd see these precious people again this side of heaven.

I am not disappointed but grateful He has given us one more day to tell the lost around us. I know all of us who blog have lost loved ones. I just met my neighbor recently and within a few minutes I realized she was not saved. I am waiting for another opportunity to talk to her. She is very interested in what we have been doing and still doing. Yeah I wish for one more day for those souls but my own soul longs to see Him face to face. Thanks for the encourgement.

It's so fast pace and so many are distracted by all the stuff available. When you share plates and utinsils it makes you very thankful for the few that are available.
