It is my hope that through the filling in of our back-story in the previous posts, many of you who may not know us well were able to understand a little bit of who we are and why we do what we do. The experiences shared were intended to be a window into the things that have shaped and molded us as well as to help explain how we got here. There will be glimpses back into other events that have molded us as posts continue. It is all for love of Jesus and out of deep gratitude for what He did on the cross for us that we do what we do. You see, we understand that He loved us in spite of our many faults, not because of anything that we had done. He gave of Himself that we might not experience an eternity in hell. We look around us and see people hurting and people needing to see something to believe in. As stated in an earlier post, my Chas was my something to believe in. He could not die to save me, could not die to redeem me, but he did live a life before me that gave me something to believe in....the Jesus he had found, the Jesus that had made a very positive impact in his life and Who had given him hope and peace in his life.
It is often said that people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. We want people to know we care an more importantly, how much He cares. The great adventure we are about to embark on is to continue to pursue to uplift and glorify our Lord through service to Him in LAHBW. We are unsure of much of the future, but we are sure of Who holds the future. We have been encouraged in so many ways in the past 36 or so hours. We, along with Darryl and Karyn want to know Him more and serve Him as He sees fit for us to do so.
Tonight after I got off work, Chas and a couple whom we love met me at work. We spent some time together just sharing with each other and of course, some time behind bars. We plan on doing just that as the days go on. We share Jesus in love and as much time behind bars as possible. We are encouraged that in the past couple of days, we have had conversations with a couple of couples who, in His time, just might be the next members of LAHBW.
Who knows what the future holds? Not us, for sure, but again, I say, we know who holds the future. Some have mentioned to Chas that they would desire him to start a church. We have no intention of even heading in that direction at this time. What we are sure of is that the Lord desires us to have lots of organized rides and a regular biker Bible study. We will continue to work at our current places of employment (Gulf Coast Education and Wiregrass Hospice). We feel very deeply that these positions are where the Lord wants to use us daily. While many may view these as 'secular' jobs, we are positive that the Lord has us in them for His honor and glory. We are excited as we continue on this journey in to the wild blue yonder. We appreciate your prayers and encourage you to continue to track this journey with us.
