Throughout The World Race and even here in Romania, there
has been a specific lesson God walks me through each month. I know on the Race, I walked through
forgiveness, control, pride…here in Romania, the same thing is happening. Month 1 I learned how to let God have my
heart completely, Month 2 I learned how to move as the Spirit moves and Month
3, I am now learning that in all circumstances, God will provide for those He
loves.
This past week, I started to journal about how God has been
providing with me being here in Romania.
I recalled God saying before I left, “Just take care of the plane
ticket, I’ll take care of the rest.”
That’s what He’s been doing.
Since I’ve been here, God keeps blowing me away by the way He keeps
giving and giving and giving. I have
free housing…I have been blessed by a missionary here to be living in her house
taking care of her dogs. What I did not
expect from her was to give me 100 RON each time she left. That’s around $30/week that she’s gone. That’s money I no longer need to raise
support for.
God takes care of those who trust in Him. If you place your trust fully in the Lord, He
will satisfy your needs and your desires.
I know my next decision may not make sense to the world.
I have applied to work at a local church-there are no
benefits with this job. I would only get
20 hours a week and it’s probably not excellent pay either. However, if I do get this position, I would
have community, a job where I would be working in the ministry, and most
importantly following the call from Our Father.
With loans, this job makes no sense.
However, in my heart..I can only say, God has something in store for
me. It’s bigger than money or insurance
or even Madison, Wisconsin. I do not
know what it is yet, but I’m positive that this something is something good.
It’s cool to me to think that God loves us so much that He
won’t stop providing for us, because we messed up once or even 100 times. No, our God cannot be described in a matter
of words, because we cannot fully grasp how good our God is.
I was listening to music today and right as soon as I
started journaling, this song came on. “Nothing
I Hold On To” by Will Reagan and United Pursuit.
I lean not on my own understanding,
My life is in the hands of the maker of heaven
I Give it all to you God,
Trusting that you’ll make something beautiful out
of me
I will climb this mountain
With my hands wide open
I cannot help but think God was affirming me by these
words. Rachel, this is your life. You trust me with everything you have,
therefore you will be successful. You
will climb the mountain and see what is at the top of all of this! You’ve got this, because you have Me!
