Odyssey Notes
Tales, Wisdom & Misadventures of Leading an Outrageously Courageous Life
He Gently Leads Those With Young
And so as we take the next step in our adventure with God and head back into Iraq, these words have spoken profoundly to our hearts and we pray they give courage and strength to you in your own walk.
"Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened. But in your hearts revere Christ as LORD. Always be prepared to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." -- 1 Peter 3:13-15
We feel a great sense of courage knowing that we are not alone. We have a great cloud of witnesses cheering us on both on earth and in heaven. With our eyes fixed on Jesus and the eternal inheritance that we have in Him, our hearts burn brighter with hope of the Gospel that is mighty to save.
The Early Morning Dash to Turkey
Just want to update ya'll... we have made it safely to Turkey where we will be spending a few days. It was quite the mad dash to the border (over the Tigris River) by taxi... left at 3am and have now made it to our destination over 12hours later. We are exhausted but doing great. Just want to say thanks to everyone who has been praying for us and for the situation in Northern Iraq. Will update more in the coming days of our future plans/movements. Let's keep praying and do all we can to see things change in a big way.. especially for those in desperate need. Love from Sarah, myself and the kiddies xoxox
