Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:
10 If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!
Something I miss the most here is having a best friend... someone outside of work that you can rely on to be there for you and pray with you about the trials and triumphs of each day. Jesus calls us a friend in 1 John 15, yet at the same time God reminds the blessing of a human friend.
I write this to thank those of you who have sent emails and kept in touch during my time here. Although it is very hard for me to time-manage well enough to work my 17 hour days and still write you back within a month, please know that every word you write is read and enjoyed, and that you are encouraging me 1/2 a world away!
I appreciate each of you. For when I fall, I know you are there to help pick me up, and get my focus back on Christ.
Praise God.
In Christ,
Corinne

Don't ever worry about whether or not you write,.. most of us cannot appreciate the situation you are in over there. We all care for you deeply, and want to help in the ministry you are in... we know it is a small part that we contribute.. you are the one in the trenches, so to speak... but God put you there, and left us here. There are probably those on the list that pray more faithfully than I do.. but when you come to mind,.. I pray for strength and health and encouragement for you.. I am truly excited to hear how God has changed you in the process.
Hebrews 13:21
hugs!
Love you Cori!
Its a blessing each time I get to talk to you, and I look forward to reading all these posts, and seeing how God is working in your life :)
I pray each day that God would keep you in good health and high spirits to face each new struggle that the day presents. God is gracious and comforting--John 14:18
love!
Christie
