The Enemy Fights Dirty
To our Team (ie anyone reading this post):
We are SO thankful for the support, prayers and words of encouragement we have received thus far on our journey. There have actually been specific moments where we knew someone was praying for us. What a gift. Thank you.
These past several weeks we have identified that the Enemy is determined to discourage us and cause us to give up…before we even start. We have sensed his negativity, shame, insecurity, discouragement, and downright panic. The expense of living in Hawaii is incredibly high and honestly, even though we knew that going in, it is still such a major adjustment. The Enemy is at work but so is the One True God and we believe with all of our hearts that the Big Island is experiencing revival. We are honored to be involved in such a might work and although it is terrifying, exhausting and unsettling, our God is in control. God has already one the battle! He has called us here and we cling to that during scary times.
We ask that you pray specifically for protection, strength and wisdom as we muddle through this new life. Pray that we will continue to seek the Lord with our finances and that God provides for our needs and our ministry costs. We are also praying for God to send church and family partnerships that will commit to supporting us financially each month.
There are hardly words to express our gratitude to those praying for us and others financially supporting us as Missionary Pastors. MAHALO NUI LOA! God is good all the time!
Aloha,
The Masons
PS Both big girls are riding bikes without training wheels and enjoying our daily phonics lesson. Jovi turns 2 this week and is now potty trained. 26 weeks along with #4!
God is faithful…I have been thinking about you lately, which usually means it is time to pray without ceasing.
He is! Keep it up friend. Your prayers mean so much. We can feel them.
Yup, that’s how the devil works. Just have to have faith and endure till the end. 🙂
Oh thank you Ashley! 🙂
Btw
Your 2 yr old is potty trained?! You must tell me your secret!
LOL! I’m happy to share. 😉
