Since arriving back from home assignment on September 3rd, I have been working through many obstacles that were standing in my way and preventing me from writing another update.  Well, it has now officially been “too long” and today is the day to write our friends and family with an update on our lives…so here we go.

All is well.  Yea, that seems like a simple statement that does not really explain what is all or what is well, but trust me in saying, “All is well…with ____.”  You see, as we look back at where we have come and see what has happened in our lives, how can we not simply say that everything is well?  What do we really have to complain about in our lives?  What could possibly be wrong?  Some might say that there are always things in your life that need prayer, but does that mean that anything is wrong.  I want to live my life in a state of “being well” and God is showing me each day the need for walking with Him as a “well man”.  

Sure, we always ask for prayer for our daughter who is a freshman at Trevecca in Nashville; sure, we need prayer for our new ministry assignment of developing partners; sure, we need prayer for Zach as he continues his high school studies at Faith in Manila; sure, Terri and I always appreciate prayers for our safety, our marriage, our families and our walk with our Lord…but, that does not mean that anything is wrong.  On the contrary, as we continue seeking God in our lives and grow with Him each day, He continues to show us that He is always there and always with us – no matter what may come.  Therefore, as I said earlier, “All is well.” :)  I look at this simple statement to mean simply that, I am fine…we are fine.
