I have sat down to write this blog
numerous times, the topic as well as my heart keep changing. So, I am going to blend two topics that lead
into each other.
Recently I attended the funeral of
a friend who truly loved the Lord and lived her life despite very difficult
circumstances with hope, grace, love and above all faith in God and His love for
her. Those who attended the service were
challenged to “finish well”. This made
me think about what it is to live well and ultimately to finish our lives
well. We must point to Jesus through all
and share the hope and love that a relationship with Him provides. So, the question I ask myself and maybe for
you to ask yourself is: Are we living
well?
Psalm 27: 1 The Lord is
my light and my salvation,
whom shall I fear. The Lord is
the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Part of living well and having faith is
letting go. As I take this journey
towards full time missions I am striving to let God have total control in my
life. Please pray that I would be able
to be His obedient servant. Today,
someone asked me “would you be disappointed if this did not work out with the
organization you have applied”. I tried
to answer as I have so many times to similar questions; that I know God could
close the door or place me back in a waiting period at any time and that I was
ok with that. As this person looked at
me (honestly I got pretty emotional) I realized I don’t know how ok with that I
am. I know that I only want to go
forward if it is God’s will, but if the doors close I will be disappointed. So, please pray for me that I would let go of
any agenda I have and solely be dependent on following Him WHEREVER and
WHENEVER He leads. The missions process
is moving along, the agency has my 19 references and I will be taking an exam
and psychological profile in the next few weeks. It is in His hands.
