Jesus' car

When we drove home from Florida, we passed this semi truck hauling these massive tires.  (what equipment could possibly use tires this big??)  I asked Kara, "what do you think those tires are for?"  Without taking a breath she announced, "those are Jesus' tires."  "What?" I wondered.  "Why does Jesus need tires?"  Kara said, "because Jesus is really, really, really, really big and those are for his car."  I'm so glad she knows that Jesus is really big and really strong and really powerful.

Our family needs this truth right now as we face two challenges.  One, we are overwhelmed by the millions of people around the world with no Scripture in their heart language.  But we know that since Jesus is all-powerful, He will redeem worshippers from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation.  Our responsibility is to joyfully obey and use the gifts He's given us.  And two, we're overwhelmed by the task of gathering partners to join us in what Jesus is doing in Tanzania.  But we know that since Jesus is all-powerful, He will provide exactly what we need, exactly when we need it.  Our responsibiltiy is to joyfully rest in His grace.  Please pray for us!
