God is a faithful<\/b> God.<\/p>\n

Psalm 40:11 says, “As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness<\/b> will ever preserve me!”\"IMG_0149\"<\/p>\n

We are blessed to have the opportunity to serve a God who is completely faithful<\/b>. We do not have to question or wonder if He is going to remain consistent. We can have full assurance that He will never fail us or leave us.<\/p>\n

I (Crystal) was blessed recently to be able to observe someone reflecting God’s faithfulness<\/b>. We went down to Arizona to present the Spain ministry to several different groups of people and to stay with my Grandpa and his wife, Loretta.<\/p>\n

My Grandpa, Lanny Barringer<\/b>, has been an example of serving the Lord for many, many years.<\/p>\n

As I have had the opportunity to hear more and more of his life story, I have realized that God has been faithful<\/b> in my Grandpa’s life many times. Grandpa wanted to go back home after college and work on the family farm in Iowa, but God led him to be a pastor. God has continued to allow my Grandpa to stay faithful<\/b> through many years of joy and difficulty. I am not sure if he will ever retire in the normal sense. He loves serving the Lord and is determined not to waste his life. I am so blessed to see my Grandpa’s faithfulness<\/b> (and Loretta’s support and encouragement of it) as he loves God and loves others. Grandpa is imaging and reflecting an aspect of God’s character to me by remaining faithful<\/b>.<\/p>\n

I praise the Lord for my Grandpa’s example, may Seth and I remain faithful<\/b> to the Lord as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
