Today we head to Oklahoma City. I’ve never flown with such a large family group before. There will be 8 of us on the same flight. The other 3 coming from here will be about 1.5 hours behind us. We are all staying in a large home our daughter has rented through airbnb.

God never ceases to amaze me. The one appointment I had yesterday is a couple seeking help with their communication. As it turns out, this is a secondary problem with the primary one being the wife’s need for her own help. She was severely abused as a young child. Her husband is aware of this but he was clueless to abuse’s effect on the victim. They will be gone on vacation for a couple of weeks so their assignment is just to practice the skills for communication to understand rather than to “win”. When we return the wife will start coming for her own help.

Over and over I see people who are trying their hardest to hide what they are so ashamed of. I know this so well! God provides opportunity for us to take a risk in stepping into a sharing moment that opens a flood gate. That took place yesterday. It is so humbling and confirming to get to be part of God’s work in one’s life. He so wonderfully placed these people in my own life and now I get to return the favor. He never ceases to use all things if we only “let Him have His way with thee”. (Old hymn– His Way with Thee)
