The Heat is on.....

Hello Blog family and friends,

It is heating up here in Texas but so far WE ARE ALL OK WITH THIS.  Our new friends continue to warn us about the Texas heat coming this summer.  I guess we'll see.  Maybe us North Dakotans are tougher than they think!

This weekend both Jack and Molly play baseball and softball so we will be busy with that.  We had three of the kids' friends sleep over last night.  What fun to have a house full of Texas kids!  We are spending lots of time at the pool.  Ellie is learning to swim on her own...and Drew has an attitude about wearing the life jacket.  I guess the other kids won't think it's cool.  Now the baby of the family has to be cool too?  SO MUCH PRESSURE!!!!

God continues to be faithful in all we could ask or imagine.  We continue to learn that although we have grown and matured in many things, we still have so far to go.  He continues to show up in situations that cause us to stand in awe of HIM.  But, will we ever really learn to depend only on Him and not on ourselves?  I hope so.  If we know he is faithful, and he has proven himself to be faithful...OVER AND OVER AND OVER...why do we continue to fear?    My prayer is that our faith will grow stronger and stronger and that the fear in us will get smaller and no longer keep us from believing in the power of our God.   Pray this for us....for discipline to hear his word, and to put it into practice.  

Psalm 130:5 "I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and IN HIS WORD, I put my hope."

We wait for the Lord and thank you for your prayers as we wait.  We wait with great anticipation that the Lord will continue to lead and guide us toward our work in Brazil and in simple obedience every day as we serve him in each and every moment he has given us.

In great love and EVER-INCREASING faith,

Robbyn
