We are perplexed, but we don't give up and quit. We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going." 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 "For our present troubles are quite small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us an immeasurably great glory that will last forever. So we don't look at the troubles we can see right now; rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen. For the troubles we see will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever." 2 Corinthians 4: 17-18 Dear Mr. Schultz, May the Lord give you strength today to endure and put His hand of protection upon you. Have a great day. “We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken. We are perplexed, but we don’t give up and quit. We are hunted down, but God never abandons us.

You have been such an encouragement to me and my Children during so many times just this past year alone. I've had 3 brain surgeries in the last 12 months and I know what it feels like to know that you are exhausted and may not want to go on. Everytime without fail that I got to one of those moments, your music and your DVD was there to encourage me and the kids. My son was just a baby when you came out with "He's My Son". He was really sick way back then and he calls that his song. There is an adoption seminar going on here in Daytona Beach this coming Saturday (19th) sponsored by Embraced By Grace and we are going to see if maybe God wants us to enlarge our family. I was adopted. My birth mother gave away 13 children. I have been lucky enough to find all but 5 of them. We just feel so connected to your music and your cause. We are praying for you and cheering you on. When I was really sick, I looked for ways to make God real to my Children. Your music really helped me to do that. I know that God will bless your efforts. Keep your eyes on God and your giants will fall. Focus on your giants and you will stumble. Keep pedaling and know that me and my family will be praying for you and your family. Sincerely, Annie, Cassidy and Justin Elijah. Mark:

Sometimes we find ourselves on the mountaintop of joys and success, and other times the valley of hardship and disappointment engulfs us. We can take comfort in knowing that as we travel life's uneven landscape, God's Spirit is always by our side! Rest well, be renewed. The rugged landscrape fits life perfectly.
