A Week of Contrasts

This past week Naty and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary and as we both reflect on the past five years we are very grateful for our Lord's provision and providence in our lives over the past five years. This week has been a great example of His providence once again. It started last Wednesday as Naty and I were preparing to leave for a few days of vacation and rest. We had not taken any time away from the ministry in over a year so we planned to go to Bulgaria for four days to rest. Wednesday evening we receivd a call from the United States telling us that my dad was having heart problems and that he was going to have to have immediate open heart surgery to correct the problems. Obviously this caused us great concern. We went ahead and left for Bulgaria on Thursday not knowing specifically what would happen. As a result of the news we had received it may be obvious that rest was hard to come by. We finally received word very early Friday morning (approximately 3 or 4 in the morning) that my dad had made it through surgery and that he was doing well after 4 bi-passes. We had not slept well for two days, but because of our short time away we were able to rest and regain our strength. Once again God showed just how much He is in control of our lives. We praise Him for my dad's successful surgery, we also praise Him for the way He always provides for us in a timely way.

celebrating our 5th anniversary


Last Naty and I wanted to write to thank many of you who we know have been praying for my dad during his time of trial over this past week. We can report that he seems to be recovering from his quadruple bi-pass surgery well according to the doctors. It is a great encouragement to us and my family that there are some many of you who were willing to pray for us during this time, we thank you!
