Love Language

Okay. I confess… I took the love languages test. I actually take it frequently. Words of Affirmation is what it has been this year. I believe that God changes it for a purpose. Recently fundraising hasn't been going very well. It is really easy to get discouraged. I can't tell if The Lord wants to close this door or if I just really need to do some growing and he wants me to lean even further into him. ANYWAYS! Fundraising has been a pain in the butt. Money is stupid and it is really difficult when I am living so far away from home with college students who happen to also be broke… ha. I get side tracked easily can you tell? Back to the love languages! Words! The Lord has been blessing me with people who have encouraging words.

A week ago I broke down and was sobbing and feeling so alone and just questioning what The Lord was doing and my sweet friend Kelsey came and sat on my bed with me and listened and then what she had to say was, "The Lord is not a God that will be angry if you go running towards him if you think you hear his voice. He if just happy that you came running" I know that the Lord called me to be a missionary. I know that the World Race was completely God led. Abba will not be angry at me for running toward him.

Two days ago I was contacted from a lady I had grown up with who is currently a missionary with her husband in Germany. She had nothing but wonderful words to pour over me and to encourage me in my fundraising specifically. She said, "it is hard to ask for money and sometimes funding comes in really slow! It can be an emotional roller coaster and it honestly can be hard to truly trust the Lord thru the whole process. But, God is faithful, and he has a plan for you! Try to seek out times of peace and remind yourself of the ways you have been amazed by God on a regular basis!"
