Happy Now

2019 was a different year for us, not that we've had a year in the recent past that was "normal", but this year has left us in a new place in many different senses.

We've dealt with some new challenges, but are experiencing truths we have believed in for a long time.

Do the right thing and you will be vindicated, now or in the future, in one way or another, even if it is only peace in your spirit.

We are so thankful and blessed to be where we have been led to now and I think that Susi would agree this is a great song to summarize where our family is at the end of 2019.

Betrayal vs. Blessing

Of all the pain that can be dealt from one human being toward another, betrayal deals one of the sharpest blows.

Betrayal is not a single act; its circles are vast reaching and the consequences are often irreversible.  

Betrayal destroys trust; it severs relationships, breaks vows, demoralizes those upon whom it is rendered. Betrayal is the exact opposite of love. Sometimes betrayal can be the root cause of death. 

One of the saddest things about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies; betrayal can only be done by someone close to you. Betrayal often comes out of no where and when you least expect it. 

Our family is not immune to betrayal. But even as we've recently walked through one of the most painful seasons our hearts have known, our experiences are nothing in comparison to the multiple betrayals enacted on the Kurdish people; currently the largest stateless people group in the world.

 Our family have supported and been inspired by the David Eubank family for many years. This tremendous family live to give their lives away; being the hands and feet of Jesus around the world. The founders of the Free Burma Rangers, they are currently ministering in northern Syria to our Kurdish allies, abandoned by America. This video update from Dave was heart wrenching and convicting.

We grieve with our Kurdish brothers and sisters during this ongoing slaughter and genocide in Northern Syria. Oil is never more important than human life.

 Oil is never more important than human life. America's betrayal of the Kurdish people is a stain on our country's reputation, honor,  and position as champions of human rights & freedom. 

John 15:12 "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." 

 Thank you for joining us in praying for the Kurdish people and for those who bless them with their presence, shouldering their burdens along side them. May we all strive to live true to our word; especially when it's hard. 

Another excellent family serving the Kurdish people is the Dalton Thomas family, through their ministry Frontier Alliance International. This is a recent update on the false Turkish "safe zone" the American media propagates.
