Family Update!

I am not sure why one would have a blog and never update. It has been a long time since we have let any of you know the happenings in the Porter family. Since our last blog, almost a year ago, we have been back to Haiti, Lisa has started back to school working on an nursing degree, Douglas has gotten engaged to a wonderful young lady Kristen Kern, Hallie is in her last year in college and is very interested in a young man fron Arkansas named Daniel, and I am still Pastoring. Doesn't sound like much on paper but it has a been a fun and often times a hectic ride. We have enjoyed every minute, good and bad. God is good all the time.
So often in our walk with Jesus we only want to follow when we know the path is what we like to call safe, and we have a full understanding of all that is happening and will happen. If that is your desire you cannot follow Jesus. One thing that Jesus has taught me again this past year is that I will never understand all He wants to do in and through me and my family, and that I must walk in complete trust and obedience with Him. His call is radical and it is all for His glory.
I promise to be better about updates.
Because of Jesus,
Doug
