Dear Stevendale Baptist Church,
Bro Willie Joe always signs his emails, “Have a great week in the Lord.” I can't tell you how many times our weeks have be one struggle, suffering, or stress after another. Most of those weeks turn out to be “great weeks in the Lord,” because God's hand was at work.
My prayer is that God's hand will ever be at work in our lives. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. All things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose.
When I went deaf earlier this year, it took me by surprise. My deafness, however, led us to deep relationships with families we never would have known well otherwise.
