We are very excited as we prepare to come back to the east coast to visit and share with our friends and family about the exciting things that God has had us doing while here in Kansas City. We are anticipating good fellowship and some folks to grab the vision and partner with us. Trusting God to provide on this level is a completely new concept for us but He is teaching us!! He really cares about us and really meets our needs. We may have “lean times” in the refrigerator from time to time but our inner man is being strengthened day by day. God has led us on a pilgrimage and we will make this valley a spring! Psalm 84 speaks of the Valley of Baca (or Weeping). This is not the place of hopelessness and defeat but rather a place of encounter with the Lord. Every trouble, hard place or Valley of Weeping we come to is in essence, a wilderness. The wilderness experience is where real faith is born. This psalm also speaks of moving “from strength to strength”. The “kneejerk” reaction that we usually say after this is “from glory to glory” but we have to go through the valley to reach the mountaintop. Between mountains is always a valley. Kind of like that great book “Hind’s feet for High Places”. We can’t live on the mountains. As a matter of fact, 90% of life is made up of the mundane, day to day stuff that we all have to do with a few glorious experiences that come our way and spice it up. God is so glorious!!! Even in the mundane, He gives us reason to rejoice and we press on without looking back. I love Him today more than I ever have.
Blessings,
Brian Jones
