A Little Push

I know that is has been a long while since my last post and a few things have been encouraging me to start again...a little push... in the right direction. I won't start with where we have been but with where God is taking us.

The love of my life left this morning, on a "non traditional" mission trip to Africa for 12 days....I want to write down my thoughts, for him and for me, during these days while he is away spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Day One:
I think that that this day may be the easiest. It hasn't hit us that you are really gone and that we really don't know where you are. That may come tomorrow...the girls are happy and Maddie and Ally are spending the night at a friends house, so it is just Hunter and me tonight. Nice and easy. (Are you already looking out for me, Lord???) I have been praying for you and this trip constantly and forever, it seems, although it has only been a month since it all began. And today, I found myself just saying the name of "Jesus" and "Lord, Your will", over and over, because He knows my prayers more than I do. Brian, I have been praying that the Lord will do amazing things through you and that His Will will be done in Africa and the Glory of it all will be His. I pray also for your safety and that you will come back to us. I pray that we will be able to communicate and that our precious girls will not drive me crazy! :) I am amazed at your willingness to GO....you are my hero and I love you more than ever. Thank you for being a Godly example to our beautiful girls and to me. You amaze me, Brian Aubrey Cheek and I am yours forever and always.

A little push...and here we go....
