The countdown continues...66 days!!! I'm so excited, and I feel like my heart is ready for God's work, but it has been taking a lot of FAITH in trusting the Lord to financially get me there. I'm not worried I know He is in control, and I know that He will provide a way...it just takes a lot of FAITH.
I was thinking about South Africa today, and how this place is going to change my life. I have never been out of the country for 6 and 1/2 weeks...in fact I have never left the country at all. I am so ready to witness those individuals who are suffering from absolute poverty and just realize how blessed I am to have something as simply as shoes, clothing, a bed, four walls and a roof around me, a floor, three meals a day...How will the Lord use me? He is calling me to go there...but what does he have in store for me when I get there? Is my heart really ready to witness all this suffering? I am so excited to experience the Lord's plans for me while I'm there in South Africa, but I won't truly know what it will be like till I am actually there...in other words...I can only prepare myself so much. Good thing this journey is in the Lord's hands!!
Please continue to pray for the faith it takes to trust in the Lord- that all financially needs will be met and that my passport will arrive soon. Also that I will pour myself into the Word and continue to prepare myself.
Thank you for your support! ...For your prayers and for your generous financial gifts! I feel so blessed!!
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!
