Liz's first senior coffee

Thank you so much for all of your kind birthday greetings! Every birthday I like to reflect on all that the Lord has done for me in my life. In Romans 10 it says "whoever trusts in Christ will never be disappointed". In the 41 years I have followed Jesus, I have never been disappointed, sometimes I have been bewildered and hurt, but ALWAYS the Lord has come through and has turned what could have been a disappointment into a Divine Appointment. The key is to remain faithful to the end.

When I think of my friends, some of you are going on strong with the Lord, I am so proud of you! Others are struggling and some have turned their backs on Jesus. God loves you and so do I. I pray that you will come back to Jesus. He has a wonderful plan for you.

Yesterday, I found myself on the phone with some of my greatest heros of the faith, Jimmy and Carol Owens, Dr. Clifford and Monica Hill, Jean Darnall working together to see the UK come back to Jesus!I never thought I would be so privileged, but He keeps His eye on the faithful.

I am thankful for all my friends and my wonderful family. I thank the Lord that all of our family is following Christ, that is the greatest gift of all! Tonight Syd and I were talking about what life is all about. In the end, who are we? Are we defined by our jobs, our family, our homes, our nationality, our education..I wonder if all of this were taken away, who would we be? If everything was taken from us we are thankful that we have Jesus- our eternal identity!
