Hi all!
It’s been awhile since I’ve last written, but I want to start with a praise for my Father who provided the funds before I left the country just like I asked. I think what gets me the most is that although this amount of money seemed big to me, it’s really not big to God. It’s amazing that He cares enough to give me such a small thing because He loves me. I want to thank everyone so so much for supporting me over this process and everyone who has spoke words of encouragement, and prayed over me. Even in my absence people have told me they prayed for me and it warmed my heart. I love and appreciate you all so much.
As I sit here in this bed I think about all the things that will be changing. This is the nicest bed I’ll sleep in for awhile, could be the last nice hot shower in a climate that I can appreciate the warm water.
The only thing I can think of as this big unknown lies before me, is that all I can do is say ‘You are good.’ I have to believe that even when my circumstances are less than ideal, or big plans fall through, that He is truly good. He is the the bigger picture. It’s not about how many bug bites I will get, or how hot I will be. It’s about Him. During our last session tonight, one of the ladies who prayed over us said,
‘I thank you Father that these people won’t bring You to the nations because You’re already there. They’re the ones who get to stir You up.’
That had never once crossed my mind. The way she presented that was so beautiful and it gave my soul a peace of reiterating that He has already gone before us. My number one thought as I prepare for this journey is, I want to seek the Father with a yes in my spirit. A yes to Him. A yes that He is good. Even when I’m hot, upset, wounded, broken, annoyed, or sad. I want to adopt an attitude of yes in my soul as I continually seek the Lord.
Love,
Alisha
