I promise this entry is much shorter. Thank you all very much for your continued prayers and support. I am praying for guidance and discernment and ask that you come alongside me in that. I believe in my heart that God’s desire for my life is full time missions, but so far that is all He is revealing to me. I have no idea when or where. I had the conversation with someone just yesterday about feeling called to full time missions and of course their first question was where, very quickly followed by when. “I don’t know” is such a strange answer to many, but it did provide me an opportunity to witness to this person and of course that was God’s plan all along. For those that know me well, the unknown is not easy for the planner in me. I do have a peace and I continue to Pray, Wait, Expect and Hope on God’s promises.
I believe there is a short term Missions trip in 2013 that I am supposed to go on, but so far the specific trip and location have not been revealed to me. I know God has a plan and I am trying to follow it. I have a few opportunities, but so far none are feeling right.
Please help me pray for boldness in sharing my faith and pray for those that don’t know him. Someone recently posted on facebook (no I don’t normally quote facebook) “The hardest prayer a person can pray, for someone they love, is that God would use whatever it takes to bring a person to their knees. Therefore, I must keep praying for those whom I love”. This is so true and I can see God honoring this prayer in the lives of some that are very close to me, while it hurts it also brings me joy as I know their hearts are softening and they are becoming more open to surrendering to the God that already has it all worked out and loves them dearly.
This morning’s service at church (thanks Pastor Terry) was one I really needed. Talking about revolutionizing our prayer lives. I believe this is part of the reason for a delay in God’s response to my prayers. He desires a more revolutionary prayer life for me, so please pray that I may take some of the wonderful and practical advice given this morning to heart and make a change. I want you all to know that as I send out this update I am praying for each of you and I humbly continue to ask for your prayers.
God Bless You All and please feel free to send me any specific prayer requests.
