Family Evangelism

It's been almost five years since we moved into our house in the heart of Cordova after leaving our 2 bedroom apartment shortly after addy was born. We have such a great Neighborhood! Sadly, I wish we could say we knew more of our neighbors. It seems like we always have the best intentions of doing some type of outreach or heck just knocking on the door to introduce ourselves but it always ends up falling through the cracks.

For Christmas this year we planned ahead of time to bake cookies, order some good solid gospel tracks, and include with it all an invite to our church Christmas service

With everything all ready to go I could feel some nervousness rising up in me. I'm not even exactly sure why. Maybe it's the fear of the unknown. Who will open the front door, will they be accepting of you, will their looks be one of kindness or rejection, will they receive your gift or not...

those thoughts can consume me if I'm not careful and cause me to begin to fear what I know The Lord has put in my heart to do. I was blessed to have a phone call with a dear friend who prayed over some things going on in my life and this outreach being one of them. Praise God for conversations like that!!!

Everything ready to go ;)

Our neighbors :)

 

Proverbs 29:25

"The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trust in The Lord is safe."

Lord, let NOT the fear of man cause us to shudder back from making known the love of our Savior! Whether its going around to our neighbors or going to the ends of the earth keep us faithful to you, for it is you working in us for your good pleasure.

Psalm 91:1

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will abide in the shelter of the Almighty."

Ahhhh I LOVE the words dwells and abides. We dwell in his shelter, we abide in Him our king!! What shall I fear??

May we find our strength to build his Kingdom in his everlasting love for his children.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
