oh my oh my...
the breast feeding and naked babies are bountiful in the philippines...
just a thought for you all...
i am currently writing to you on wed june 18 in the middle of san fransisco, cebu, philippines a municipality of camotes island...
as i have said in my previous blogs i am learning newer things every day...
i have recently learned that while some tracts and dvds may be useful, they cannot contain my God...
my God is the God who is bigger than any 6 page tract that someone may hand you...He is bigger than any dvd you can make...
my God cannot be comprehended in a short bible study...while studies do help to introduce Him, a study alone can't do Him justice...i see the Lord moving in my life daily...the only way anyone of us will understand Him more is to be in His word daily and to be in prayer multiple times daily...nothing that we do is so important that we have to put God on the back burner...God deserves out whole lives...He deserves it all...our love...our passion...our desire...the death of Jesus Christ on the cross was enough to consume us all...
we are not missionaries in a foreign land...we aren't on a mission trip...we aren't americans staying in the philippines...
we are living our lives as living testimonies and sacrifices to Him...the one who deserves it all...
i know these are all just words and words cannot do Him justice, but they do glorify Him if another person can read this and see my light...
this is not a blog to tell you of my struggles, it is not to tell you how much i miss you all, it is not to tell you of my accommodations or the food i eat, it is not to tell you of the people here or the people on my team...
it is to tell you that God will be glorified in my life, persecution or not...the persecution that i face could never in a lifetime be as awful and what Christ suffered, and that is why i owe it all to him...
Jesus Christ's sacrifice deserves our discomfort...i am not comfortable here...this is not my home...but the bible says nothing about our lives being easy sharing the word of God...
So to end the blog i want to say that whatever you are doing this week even today...
stop...
turn off the tv and the cell phone(i promise it will be ok off)...
get off the internet for a while...
be still...
be quiet...
and know that He is God...
He will have his way with you...
meet a stranger...
eat with a sinner...
walk with a drunk...
comfort the widow...
talk to the whore...
He did...
why can't we...
don't worry what people think about you with them...
they are the ones with the problem...
spend time with a philippino..
talk with an african...
smile to an asian...
the world is made up of people...
God loves people...
the people that He created...
so love on them, feed them, show them His love through your life...
Make His name Famous...

Bobby,
I know God is pleased with your work and is smiling down at you at this very moment. Know that you are loved and in the prayers of many people. Your blogs are wonderful. Your cousin,Marcia
Bobby-I love you! Mom-Here are some words to a song I sing to God for you!--You are my strength when I am weak, You are the Treasure that I seek, You are my ALL in ALL. Seeking You as a precious jewel, Lord to give up I'd be a fool, You are my ALL in ALL. Jesus, Lamb of God-Worthy is Your Name. Taking my sin, my cross, my shame, Rising again, I bless Your Name, You are my ALL in ALL. When I fall down, You pick me up, When I am dry You fill my cup, You ARE my ALL in ALL!---Praying with gratitude for you, your team and your island people!
Bobby,
"I cry out to God Most High. To God who will fufill His purpose for you." -Psalm 57:2
I am praying this for you each day!
You are experiencing more of God's growth in 2 months than most experience in a lifetime!
I Love You!
Ms. Patsy
Bob-o,
I think that is how you spell that. WOW is the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of you Bobby. What you are doing right now is outstanding. I have said a prayer for you everyday since you have been gone. I can't even imagine what it is like over there but I know you are doing Gods work and so many people are proud of you Bobby. When I hear your name in church or talk about you to other frineds, nothing but a smile comes to my face. Man, from a friend for many and many years I want you to know I am proud of you and I look up to you for what you are going through right now. Bobby, I love you and miss you buddy, stay safe.
