I'm in H-town!

After many hours of driving, I finally arrived in Houston. I knew beforehand that I was getting closer to Houston because of the many billboards and advertisements which were in Spanish. It is hard to believe that I am back in Houston. Don't get me wrong, God is doing amazing things here and all of the people here are wonderful, but I had no idea even a few months ago, that this is what God was up to. I can't wait to see what God is going to do through each of us who are here. I'm certain that it will be "more than we could ask for or imagine." I am extremely excited!! I start Monday, January 5th.

Please continue praying! It is vital! Please pray specifically for unity between each of us as new staff members come so that God can use us in any way He sees fit. Thanks to everyone who called over the holidays and on the trip here. Also, thank you to those who have already committed to supporting me in the ministry here through letters, emails, phone calls, as well as financially.

My roommate, Delana, will arrive January 7th so please also be in prayer for her safety as she travels as well as for a smooth transition here.

I know this is very brief and scattered; I apologize. As soon as I arrived I started unloading everything and tried arranging some of it, and then I started writing this blog. I am exhausted.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I hope everyone has a fabulous new year.

Side note: Delana and I decided that our theme verse for the next four months will be John 3:30: "He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less."

If God is not the one leading the ministry here, and everything we do from day to day then it will all be in vain. My prayer is that our constant focus would be to allow God to been seen in us in everything we do so that God will receive the glory from it all, and not us as we become less and less.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I will be posting regularly so please check back often.
