An Open Door

It has been a while since I have posted.  Many things are happening in my life and sometimes it is hard to keep up!  This month has been busy with a beautiful Valentine's Banquet, sweet company visiting, being involved in a growing church, finding a new doctor and getting the labs complete, and a door opening for me that I wasn't quite expecting.

 Denise (Patrick's Mom) has been wanting to travel back to St Barths to visit her family and especially her Mom (Mama) that has not been feeling well.  This is the island that Denise was born on and the island where we served as missionaries before I became sick.   The person that was going to accompany her had a change in their time off and was no longer able to go.  We knew she was disappointed.  Patrick, as her son, knew that it just wasn't possible for him to get away.  When I mentioned that I could go, Patrick was skeptical.  He was concerned for my health and knew we needed to give this idea much prayer.  After giving this matter to God, we knew He was opening this door for me.

 SO, yesterday Denise and I began our days journey to St Barthelemy.  So many memories!  We have arrived safely.  Even though the day wore me out, I am thankful to be able to do this for my sweet Mother in law.  She needed to see her Mom.  Pray for me.  I truly desire to be a witness while I am here.  There were some precious souls that did not accept Christ while we lived here, that I would love to see saved.  And as Patrick put it, this will let me have a chance for a goodbye and closure.  When I became sick, I had to leave so fast.

So, as I enjoy the beautiful view and sun, I am praying, "God, please use me."
