We were really convicted this weekend by the words of another missionary on the field. She has read a book that highlights that we owe God our best efforts, and the best of what He has given us to offer. The decisions we make have to be weighed up as good, better or best. You see, the decisions we make on a day to day basis are normally good, but we have to think; could they be better, and are they our best.
We were challenged on this with our quiet times in Mexico. Due to the language difficulties in church, we were downloading Bible study podcasts, family were sending us sermons from our home church at Ballee Baptist, and we were listening to them as we travelled. Now this sounds super holy, but in reality, many time we went back to listening to CD on our ipods.
You see, we may have been listening to music from the charts that may not have been that bad, that was our good. We could be listening to Christian music that our friends have given us, or recommended, this was our better. But we realised that listening to and applying God's word to our lives is our best.
We hope that you can ponder your decisions, as we now ponder ours. Can we say that our decisions are good, better or our best.

hey man:
im now at Mattersey Hall Bible College in England, studying for a degree.
I have enjoyed reading up about what you 2 are out there doing it sounds really great, and I hope you are both enjoying it.
God bless.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
It blows my mind that the random thoughts & feelings from my heart can encourage others.
& it encourages me that you feel the same way!
I'm praying that God's love showers upon you as you serve him in Mexico!!!
