Please pray!

Please pray for us today. My cousin, Ginny gave birth Wednesday to her second child. The baby was still born. She found out at her doctors appointment on Tuesday. She was going for an ultrasound to determine the sex of the baby, and found out the baby had passed a few weeks ago. Today is the grave side ceremony. Ginny and her husband Matt were able to hold Baby Cheadle in their arms give him hugs and kisses. Today our hearts are very heavy for them. Please pray for this family that God' physical arms will come around them on this difficult day. Please pray for Josh as he will be overseeing the services.

The world may never notice if a flower doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder if the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or even comes to be,
touches the world in some small way for all eternity.

The little one you've longed for, was swiftly here and gone,
But the love that was then planted is a light that still forever shines on.

And though your arms are empty now,
Your hearts will know what to do.
Every beat of our hearts will forever say "we love you".

God bless you and good bye Baby Cheadle

Trust Me!

A few years ago, Josh bought me the most beautiful book. It is a devotional book and even after a few years, it touches my heart daily. We tease each other, because it never gets old. It seems though it was written just for me! (or I like to pretend that anyways :) I feel like it is so easy to let the world get to us. We get so wrapped up in our problems from day to day. We get hurt by others, hurt by situations. Some things seem so out of our control and you know what?? They are. I have found the most amazing joy and peace through Christ recently, one like I have never known. When you stand before God and give him yourself, your whole heart, your whole life, nothing, I mean nothing can shake that! No matter what is going on around you, what ever circumstance, what ever relationship, what ever the situation, please just give it to God. Not just a piece of it, all of it, all of you! Nothing is too mighty for him! We are over comers, conquers through him. When we stand before him, we hide nothing, he sees and knows all. He knows are needs before we even ask, he sees every tear we have cried. When you feel like no one cares and you are alone. You are not. He holds every tear in his powerful hands. Trust those hands, hold tight and NEVER give up! Now that I have shared my heart with you today, here is the devotion from that little book Josh got me, I pray it touches you, encourages you to look up some scripture and know nothing is an accident! You are exactly where you need to be today!

Trust Me in the midst of a messy day. Your inner calm- your Peace in My Presence- need not be shaken by what is going on around you. Though you live in this temporal world, you innermost being is rooted and grounded in eternity. When you start to feel stressed, detach yourself from the disturbances around you. Instead of desperately striving to maintain order and control in you little world, relax and remember that circumstances cannot touch My Peace! Seek My Face, and I will share My mind with you, opening your eyes to see things from My perspective. DO NOT LET YOU HEART BE TROUBLED, and do not be afraid. The Peace I give is more than sufficient for you!
John 16:33 Psalm 105:4 John 14:27

World Gospel Mission!






Here are some pictures we took at WGM's headquarters. Sorry I am just now posting them. Everything was so crazy when we returned! Headquarters is so beautiful! It was more like a vacation than training. Everyone there is so wonderful, we truly feel like part of the family! Enjoy the pics!

Another offer!

Please pray for us as we continue to try and sell our home. We have another offer now and are praying this is the right family. We have actually met them and they are very excited to come live here. We had another offer a couple of weeks ago, and were even in contract with a closing date set, and at the last minute the family broke contract. We know everything is in Gods timing. We met a very special person while in contact that we were going to rent from until we leave for Uganda. And we knew God put her in our path for a reason. So please continue to pray for us as we wait patiently on our Lord's perfect will!
God Bless,
Josh and Angela

Please keep us in your prayers as we begin this journey that God will place the people in our paths that need to be! We are now officially on the web too! You can check us out at wgm.org! Thank you for your prayers and have a blessed day!
