Update from "the field"

Ok...so the field is usually a bit more rough and rugged than, say, Hollywood.   But it is a field nonetheless.

Jen and I had a great day yesterday, and in the evening we had a chance to sit and talk with Rebecca (see her email below).  It was so encouraging to us to hear from her how God has used her in her position, given her favor  (her words, by the way....words that we have used often), and seen God working in numerous and exciting ways.  At the end of our time we prayed together.

This morning I was reading Psalm 37.  THAT is a really encouraging text.  I have my presentation today so the words are particularly helpful to me:

Enjoy serving the Lord, and he will give you what you want.

Depend on the Lord; trust him, and he will take care of you.

Then your goodness will shine like the sun,

and your fairness like the noonday sun.

When people's steps follow the Lord, God is pleased with their ways.

If they stumble, they will not fall, because the Lord holds their hand.

Here is a comment by Rebecca posted to the blog, in case you didn't get it:

The "fantastic" Rebecca checking in w a comment here !! (smile inserted(

All great news for Haiti ~ actually, there was another fund-raiser in the Kansas City Variety Tent ~ they had a fashion show and raised $2,800, also to be presented today to Dr. Ben.

And it was a Past-President, Jody Reynold, long time support of Variety who offered to help ~ it is her NEPHEW, John Lane, who is w/ USGS and Army Corps of Engineers, has had several stints in Iraq -has volunteered countless hours for Variety in finding solutions for clean water in global communities.. I sent him a note and asked him if he was ready to go to Haiti. One word reply, "YES". 

All wonderful. Thank you, Dr. Ben, you 'travel' in apparently unrelated circles- Hollywood and Haiti? 

blessings, Rebecca
