Praise:
I had a garage sale to raise funds for the trip. The outpouring of support was such a blessing!!! People offered up their homes, letting me invade their space to hold my sale. Others gave me things to sell from furniture to banana bread. I had friends willing to give their time to help me prepare, including getting out of bed to put up signs in the rain. I raised $500. God made it not only easy, but fun. As nervous as I am about raising so much money, he is making it easier to relax and be faithful that he will provide.
A great MAHALO to all who supported me. I so love you all.
Prayer:
Wow, what a roller coaster this mission trip has been. I’m not even out of the country yet, but the trip is well underway. I have doubts and fears.
How can I leave this behind? What if this isn’t what I’m supposed to be doing? Ah, it is all part of the trip. Before a man cuts down a tree he sharpens his saw. Being used as a tool of God is no different. The saw must be sharpened…my faith must be in Him. How do I leave this behind? I trust. How do I know this is what I’m supposed to be doing, I don’t. God knows his plans for me and following Him has brought me here. I know I’d love prayer to keep my faith strong. Not to see all that I’m walking away from in the eyes of the world, but to see the love that I am entering into through the eyes of God.
