I’m surprisingly clam as Tres explains to us-we’re having trouble getting money out so right now, we have no money, no place to stay, no food. Just be in prayer that the right person walks by. I’m surprisingly calm as we dip into emergency cash to buy the Sim cards-even though it’s only month 3, we need to communicate our arrival. Bambi and Paul work their butts off to try to find us lodging. I’m surprisingly calm as still nothing has fallen into place. I’m surprisingly calm as I silently laugh to myself-Oh Lord, from day 1 this month is yours. So I just sit and I wait-for instruction, for guidance-and throughout it I’m surprisingly calm. This is not about us and we’re so not in control so Lord, we have no choice but to surrender to you. For you alone know where the money will come from; you alone know what we’ll eat and where we’ll rest our heads. You alone know what this month, this week, this day has in store for us because you alone are God. Where man and machine will fail to provide, you’ll continue to be our strength. I thank you in advance, Lord, for your loving provision, for the way I know all our needs will be met. I thank you for teaching us Lord to fully, completely, and solely rely on you and in bringing us peace as we do (well, me at least). Strengthen our faith, Father. Remove all doubt, fear, and anxieties. May you focus our gaze only on you so that we may not miss a single thing you do for us this month, this week, this day. I thank you, my God. I thank you, my Father. For you alone are worthy of all thanksgiving and praise.
Oh and just as a note to like, all those who are freaking out, we’re not starving…yet. We just got here this morning so don’t go freaking out. We just, don’t exactly have any plans yet 🙂
