On the market

Yesterday saw our usual market outing. Well, not so usual this time as it was the first time we took our mobile stand with us. It is small, with wheels to move it around easily, and enough space for some litterature, and Bibles. It is also Bright yellow, which makes it very visible.
We were excited, and we chose a nice spot by one of the entrances to the weekly market. God blessed us, and Emmanuel Hartiel had a long conversation with one of the sellers next to us. In the meantime, I walked around the market with another church member. Then, as we were waiting for the other Emmanuel to finish his conversation before packing up, we were approached by a young man with an English accent who wanted to know which church we were from. It became quickly clear that he was the young man who had been in touch with our colleagues a few weeks ago. He and his wife are Christians, and they are hoping to buy the campsite which is at the other end of the village we live in. His wife is French and they are living in the French Alps for the moment (not far from where I come from). They had come to attend an interview panel concerning their business project. If the sale goes through, they would move in April or May. Pray for them, that the Lord’s will be done. It would be encouraging to have another young family join the church (for the time being, our children are the only children).
All I can say is that God blessed our first outing with this mobile stand. We now pray that he will use it to give us more contacts, and more opportunities to witness.

Andrew Peterson — Fool with a Fancy Guitar

It’s so easy to cash in these chips on my shoulder
So easy to loose this old tongue like a tiger
It’s easy to let all this bitterness smolder
Just to hide it away like a cigarette lighter

It’s easy to curse and to hurt and to hinder
It’s easy to not have the heart to remember
That I am a priest and a prince in the Kingdom of God

I’ve got voices that scream in my head like a siren
Fears that I feel in the night when I sleep
Stupid choices I made when I played in the mire
Like a kid in the mud on some dirty blind street

I’ve got sorrow to spare, I’ve got loneliness too
I’ve got blood on these hands that hold on to the truth
That I am a priest and a prince in the Kingdom of God

I swore on the Bible to not tell a lie
But I’ve lied and lied
And I crossed my heart and I hoped to die
And I’ve died and died

But if it’s true that you gathered my sin in your hand
And you cast it as far as the east from the west
If it’s true that you put on the flesh of a man
And you walked in my shoes through the shadow of death

If it’s true that you dwell in the halls of my heart
Then I’m not just a fool with a fancy guitar
No, I am a priest and a prince in the Kingdom of God
