NOOOOOooooo! Something's not right here! You who know us will quickly see the non sequitur portrayed in this picture taken Monday. Our heart is definitely NOT in San Francisco; we long for home and the ministry God has placed on our hearts - in Alaska!!
When we exchanged our wedding vows 22 years ago today, we never imagined the varied path on which God would lead us, and that He would equip and give us a love for the mission field of remote Alaska.
We praise the LORD for the partners, both prayer and financial, to which He is leading us and for His loving care each step of the way. We are content in that we are in the lower 48 (California, even!) fulfilling this step of connecting His people to accomplishing the Great Commission in the "uttermost parts of the earth;" yet we are restless and ready to step into the place He has for us in Alaska.
Are you ready?
Many have expressed God's call on their hearts to participate in this ministry financially but have yet to step through the door. Next month as we give you all an update, it would be awesome to report that many more have answered the call and that the "Miller Team Alaska" is supported at 75%...85%...100%?!! We are ready to drive back to Alaska tomorrow when our team is complete - and rejoin our bodies with our hearts!!
Praise....
-
Refreshment during our stay in Ukiah: a pool, four-wheeler, and hiking trails kept the kids from cabin fever!
-
Enjoyment of the Giant Redwoods, Burney Falls, horseback riding, and (yes!) even an afternoon in San Francisco
-
Sharpening at three Bible Bee locations/study events: in Burney, Ferndale, and San Jose
Prayer...

For our three girls as they prepare to test at a completely different Bible Bee location - in Thayne, Wyoming! (August 24)

Continued safety on the roads
