Sharing the Good News

Hey, hey people! Malinda is at the blogging helm here. My first time ever, oh how exciting! :)

Many people have been asking how things are going, business wise. Well, let's just say we're learning lots and keeping the faith. Our web page isn't working at all, the on-line store shows we're sold out on everything which is totally not the case. We are getting that all worked out and hiring someone to help us with that. We completely trust this is God's business and in His hands. Easier said than done sometimes. Keep checking the web store if you are interested in purchasing product. Thanks! :)

Both Josh and I have been SO BLESSED by our friends lately. The encouragement offered and more importantly, time to pray together with our Christian friends has left us both hopeful and motivated. What a blessing to pray for each other and have authentic relationships based in Jesus! Thank you friends!!

One of my good friends recently sent me this link to a very interesting youtube clip. I opened it the other morning before the 2 big girls were awake. Maryn was contentedly playing in her "jail" (play pen) so I had a few minutes to enjoy my hot coffee and watch. Wow. I was blown away by the video. Funny how certain things at certain times of the day really affect a person. If you haven't watched it, I challenge you to. Then, after watching, go back and pay attention to some of the things the comedian says more than once. Josh and I both noticed how he said the man sharing the Bible was nice, a good man multiple times. Other things he said over and over were how he was looked in the eyes and how sane the sharer of the Good News was. I'm constantly amazed at how many people out there are lost, searching for meaning and hope and not looking to Jesus and His word.

How motivated have I been this week to look someone square in the eyes, authentically care about them, share my love for Christ and remain sane all at the same time?? Not many, my friends, not many. I pray for such encounters to occur more and more in my life. I pray for the courage to share my faith with people, anyone who will listen.

That's all for now. Just some thoughts. Check out that video and share with us via email or Facebook what you thought!
