Changing Course

Sorry it's been a while for an update (if there's anyone actually reading!). God changed our course slightly today. It seemed that Satan was throwing obstacles up to Lori and I going on this mission trip to Guatemala. My cautious and ever diligent wife was feeling the timing might not be right. My idealistic self was going to beat back anything Satan threw at us to go on this trip. This past week I started to feel like maybe God was trying to tell us it wasn't the right trip. We have been praying along with some friends for some insight. I felt really impressed to pray at my late lunch this afternoon for guidance. A short time later my wife talked to the missions president for our church. Our district is going abroad for a Work and Witness trip in January. They were excited that we may be able to go with this trip instead. OK now I get it! I'm learning to listen more to my wife. The Holy Spirit often speaks to me through her. I'm not sure if I've told her that but I need to. I'm off to bed.
