How frail is your faith? These are the words I considered this week. My parents had come for a visit- it was a quick visit and I was concerned about their safety with them being so tired. I tried calling daddy however, his cell phone wasn't charged. I waited for the next morning and called their home.. no answer. Instantly my heart dropped to my feet. I tried the cell phones again, the car phones, the home phone again and then I heard that sweet sound I was longing to hear... that deep, raspy voice say, "Hello?" Oh, daddy! You are home! I heard all the details and learned the Lord had led them home safely without incident.. in fact he had a highway patrol man pulled them over at one point when momma was getting to tired just to check on them. Well, that sure woke her up and she was able to drive the rest of the way home without any incident! After I hung up I considered how frail is my faith.. will one missed phone call instantly make me forget all the countless times of His faithfulness? I had to ask the Father to forgive me and have kept that reminder in my thoughts this week as we have faced pressing issues. The Wood family is doing well...we delight in singing His praises and fixing our attention on Him instead of the storms of life. Cheryl, thank you for all your prayers and emails. Cyndi- thank you for calling to check on us and praying faithfully for our family. And to everyone else that lifts up the Wood family in prayer- thank you! How humbled we are that others would take time to pray for us!!!

I know there are many friends of ours with heartaches, concerns and life storms that seem to be invading every part of your being- may I encourage you to trust in the Lord... praise Him for who He is not just what He does! Fall into His arms and just listen to His heart beat! The song, I have posted above is one that has been sang often here in the Wood household, may we each desire to drink of His cup despite any discomfort to our physical bodies!

I pray that my brief note finds you all doing well.. bathing in His blessings and giving thanks for all He has done in your lives! And on a really fun note... go check my Bekah girls blog she has a fun post about laws in our new home state of KS posted. I laughed to the point of tears... just tooo funny!  I also have posted here a trailer clip of a new movie that I am sure will be a blessing to many! Fireproof is a movie made by the same people that made Facing the Giants. Our Beckham family friends first told us about it; they watched the film last week and only suggested that if you go... take Kleenex! I pray that the Lord will use these films to reach the lost, the hurting and those that have strayed from His arms. Enjoy the clip and let me know if you go. I hope to go this weekend with my Joe as well as Bekah and Shadow- we will see what the Lord has planned.

Have a wonderful weekend as you abide in Him dear friends. May He have His perfect will in each of our lives.

May our lives be a testimony for all the World to see that there is a God in Heaven because of His Handiwork that they wittness in our lives.


With much love,
Mrs. Joseph Wood
