the day of battle

“The horse is made ready for the day of battle,
but victory rests with the Lord.”
-- Proverbs 21:31

A note from my Bible: This proverb refers to preparing for battle. All of our preparations for any task is useless without God. But, even with God’s help, we still must do our part and prepare. His control of the outcome does not negate our responsibilities. God may want you to produce a great book, but you must learn how to write. God may want to use you in forgeign missions, but you must learn the language [or in our case, the skill]. God will accomplish His purposes, and He will be able to use you if you have done your part by being well prepared.

• Please pray for us as we are in a battle, and one that right now is a little harder than some other times. AIM Air is very “thin” personnel wise and the guys are all overloaded and overworked.

• Please pray the Rod not get burnt out with it all, and that the girls and I can handle home without him here as much right now. The next month and a half look very busy for him, with many overnights (at least 12 in a 28 day period).

Thank you for your prayers!
