Refreshment for the Soul!

We are quickly learning that when someone offers you "refreshment" in Trinidad they are offering more than a "snack". After church this morning, Sister Anne Marie Homer told us they had refreshments for us and brought each us us a fruit drink and a submarine sandwich! What a blessing!

We visited Marabella Open Bible Church this morning, pastored by Dr. Andy and Sister Anne Marie Homer. They had the Caribbean Nazarene College visiting and WOW! God knew exactly what the Lumbards needed this morning! We experienced a different kind of refreshment...Refreshment for the soul! The worship was amazing and anointed. The message was challenging. As we left, two girls from the church came up to Ashleigh to introduce themselves. They invited her to their youth meeting next Friday night...I think it meant alot to her.

Earlier in the week we got our mandatory check ups for immigration. Our debit cards for our new Trinidad account will be activated by this Tuesday. Yesterday we found a "Cold Stone Creamery" and had wonderful ice cream!

We will try to make a decision this next week on the area we will live. This is an area we are believing God to make clear to us.

We skyped with Dad and Mom Lumbard for the first time on Saturday, went through a bunch of mail with Mom and sang Happy Birthday to Dad. This skype thing really helps the homesick heart. So many important dates coming up that I won't be there for...Our Son Jonathan's 30th Birthday...our granddaughter Madison's 3rd Birthday...other family occasions...it's so hard. This I know... I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day. (2 Timothy 1:12)

Tomorrow Sister Anne Marie Homer is going to take us to check out PriceMart (Similar to Sam's Club in the States) We also pick up our papers from the Doctor for our Visas...

That's it for now...until next time...that's My Take On It!

  1. The more I hear of the worship and fellowship in Trinidad, the more excited I get for you! Truly, the Holy Spirit is welcome in this place! I have to believe God is blessing this tiny island for their faith and it will be a very good place to do His work. Love you!

  2. Hey - I like your blog! You will be so blessed by Island Worship! We are so encouraged when we visit our Jamaican/Trinidanian churches in Florida. We also met the Homers in May in Cuba - they are wonderful. Tell them hi for me!
