We are continuing to live separate lives together. Make sense? I guess not but here a attempt to explain.
After Christmas, we drove to Yazoo City as usual. We had made our minds up at that point that Patty would stay with her dad during his cancer treatment and I would come home to complete my interim time with Hillcrest and begin my preparations for the road ministry. This is where we’ve been and although it’s difficult, it’s not a place we’ve never been. You may or not recall that in October of 2010, Patty moved in with her folks to minister to her mom during her brief but terminal illness. Before that it was the early years of my road ministry that Patty had a full time job and I was traveling without her. That was the first 12 years of this ministry and then God opened the door for her to leave her job and travel with me.
As we’ve matured in our walk with Him, we’ve found ourselves being more sensitive of ministry opportunities and, as difficult as some choices may be, being open to those opportunities.
So, this was something that we felt God has placed in our lives and we each have our ministry. It’s just a season and in time will pass but this is where we are.
She has found herself also helping my mother with my dad’s illness. She is meeting real needs there.
Today I did a hospital run with a little visiting then in the office for Wednesday prep. Sure do appreciate your prayers as we continue our ministries to His glory!
