it's crazy that words from a book, meaning someone else's words, can impact your own life so much. I'm not a huge reader (although I do love it) but I seem to never have a lot of time to dedicate to it, but I do tend to pick some pretty life impacting books to read when I actually have the time to read (usually its b/c they are books people are telling me I should read haha). I am reading Revolution in world Missions right now and the words from that book could not have come into my life at a better time. It is written by K.P. Yohannan (the founder of Gospel for Asia). The whole book is challenging many of my prideful thoughts I have that are keeping me from fully embarking on gods plan for my life. With the world race of course comes raising support. I would love to say that rasing support has been exciting all the time but truthfully I let my own stress and anxiety about it creep in way to much. I see God in the support raising and then I let myself think to far ahead and get scared. In the book Revoltion in world missions there is a chapter about how K.P felt when he was first starting Gospel for Asia and what it was like to have to ask people for money. I could relate to him feeling down or bad for himself if he wasn't recieving what he wanted to from others. He comes to a point though when he reflects on his discouraged additude and remembers that this is God's work, not his work and that it is a privilage to do what he is doing and that his burden is light. How many times have I missed out on a blessing becuase ive stoped doing something becuase I thought it was to hard or didn't do something at all? When God uses us it is our privilage and not suppose to be our work but His. It is so encouraging to remember that our burden is light. God is not in trouble and does not need us to beg for Him. This is a reminder to me that God provides.
