Rusty is STILL gone on the W...Thanks for this Matt. Rusty is STILL gone on the World Race - it's been almost 10 months with another 41 days to go. There have been a handful of near death/dangerous experiences (including him being held at gunpoint) - and now I just found out there was more rioting in Bangkok (where he is) that killed 2 and injured 400...<BR/><BR/>I say all that not to scare you or April, but to say that I'm still learning that God is in control, and that Rusty IS in God's hands! He's kept him safe in the craziest of situations, all over the world, and I keep reminding myself that Rusty is safer in the middle of bangkok in the center of God's will, than he is here out of God's will. And also that God is going to take care of me here while he is away.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for leading by example and being obedient in this. I pray God blesses your trip and that you bring Kingdom wherever you go. I pray for a hedge of protection around you and the team, and around your beloved April, Josh, Caleb, and Luke (and Anna Grace). I pray for peace that passes all understanding in all your hearts. Love you guys!Ericka B. Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05692251243182690488noreply@blogger.com
