That ability makes you an incredible communicator...I like to think it runs in the family!! May God hold you close and protect you and your family on both sides of the ocean. I will be looking for kelly's posts of the great Benin Reunion!

We are so excited to see you and Pate on Sunday! As Timo says, "I just can't beweeve I'm gonna see Pater at the airport!"<BR/><BR/>Be sure and tell people to check our blog. There will be pictures up of ALL of us starting Monday!<BR/><BR/>Love you so!<BR/><BR/>KellyKelly Vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14149586802369275838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18285204.post-1308964946292722782007-02-15T20:48:00.000-08:002007-02-15T20:48:00.000-08:00What a GIFT you will be to your family in Benin an...What a GIFT you will be to your family in Benin and to ALL you come in contact with. I'll be praying that God uses you and Payton to touch MANY on this trip and that it will be full of fun, wonderful memories to pass down to generations. Praying also for your heart and God's peace for you ALL.

I th...Becky, <BR/>My heart goes soft reading your entry. I think you and I have been mimicking eachother in these late night periods. I have often wondered why I seem to be the only one around me thinking of the morbid or less than desirable possibilities of life. You are so right to turn those over to God. Even when you can't get immediate assurance that you are way off the mark. That is the hard part about living the unknown every day. Ultimately He is the only one who can soothe the pain that comes with these wild speculations of what could/might/might not happen. And yes, you are right-- people go to and from Africa every day with complete safety. My prayer will not only be that you are one of these people, but that the Lord will fill you with a peace you haven't felt before (or maybe in a long time) about his provision for you and the overall scheme of your life and loved ones. On a practical level, you know that you'll feel so much better once you are smiling at the wonderful faces of the Vaughans as you deboard the aircraft. I have no doubt you'll have the time of your life. How long are you going to be there? Payton will be such a special companion to you the whole time. What a wonderful blessing! And I know he'll remember the trip forever and ever. I hope you can post some things once you get there. I love you sweet friend! May you be blessed with peace!!!April Spicerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15766132400672723820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18285204.post-89762088390062777132007-02-15T18:32:00.000-08:002007-02-15T18:32:00.000-08:00Becky, you and your family are in my prayers.

I know His blessings will be known during this trip.

It also reminds me of the precious road these missionaries walk when they leave family behind to live across the world. You are all an inspiration as you put God first and walk in faith with Him. We'll be praying for you and your family both here and there.

Our prayers have already begun for you and your family and will continue until we see pictures of you and Payton returning to Texas on your blog in just a few weeks!<BR/><BR/>Love you!!

I needed to...It was good for me to read this post. I needed to hear the part about "it is Him who has plans to prosper them". I have the same fear about what will happen to Cody and Garrett if I am not here to run the house, get groceries, buy their clothes, etc... God has plans for them like he does me. I think it is easy to loose focus and think that we are in control when we are not. At least I have that problem and have to remind myself I am not in control.<BR/>I hope you and Payton have a wonderful trip! What an awesome memory you two will share. I look forward to seeing some pictures. God's blessings on your family!Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810421621906072592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18285204.post-59443539299527630682007-02-14T06:47:00.000-08:002007-02-14T06:47:00.000-08:00Becky, I am a friend of your precious mom's and sh...Becky, I am a friend of your precious mom's and she told me about your blog. What a treasure! Thank you for sharing such a deep part of your soul. I am praying! I will pray until you return and the reunions are reported.

I am thankful you took the opportunity when it was offered....obedience is hard. Stand strong sweet sister.<BR/><BR/>As I watch you and Pate head for the plane this week end I know my heart will ache and tears will fill my eyes as you go in obedience to be a blessing as well as to recieve a blessing...and oh yes the reunions will be sweet both in Benin and in Texas!<BR/><BR/>It does my heart good to see the adventureous Jeffrey spirit being modeled and passed down to the next generation! Isn't Payton the same age AJ was when he got his first passport?sjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038204187590797434noreply@blogger.com
