Plod On, Plod On, Plod On,.....

Beloved Friends,
During our years at Elim Bible Institute, the college President "inspired" us all with these words (shared above). Despite all the pressures and challenges of life, we mustn't give up or give in - we need to keep pressing on! This is where we Millers find ourselves these days. We're not "in the trenches" of direct work in the mission field of Africa (yet), but we Definitely find ourselves in succeeding series' of Missions events in our everyday lives. Our Itineration plans have been temporarily set on hold as we go about the daily busy-ness of work and re-establishing ourselves in a new house. But that too is part of the process of moving forward. Every "explorer" knows that before they move on, they need to establish a base camp, from which they can resupply themselves, and from that foundation of strength, they can set out for the next goal. In our case, only the Lord know what our next goal truly is, but we need to keep focusing on the direct goals ahead, establish our bases, then move on, at His leading. It would be folly to keep moving onward without those base camps... those foundation stones, from which to move onward. So despite apparent lack of forward movement in regard to our Missions Vision, we are continuing to pray over and "envision" (if very little activity in) our next steps toward fund-raising and eventual reaching of the goal of service overseas. Pray for us as we continue to "plod on, plod on, plod on...." Blessings in Jesus' Name, DL
