“For my thoughts are
not your thoughts, neither are you ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the
heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my
thoughts than your thoughts.” – Isaiah 55:8-9
“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of
God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! Who has
known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” -Romans 11:33-34
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your
own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your path
straight.” -Psalm 3:5-6
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of
those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” – Romans 8:28
These are the verses that have been coming to mind these past
4 days. I don’t understand God’s plan right now. This was not the way I thought
things would go. But now, I find myself home, back in America after only 8
months on the Race. Not exactly what I thought was the plan.
But God has a bigger plan. He sees a bigger picture than I
do, than I ever will. So now, I find myself just simply trusting and waiting
for the next phase of my life, for God’s plan to be revealed to me.
I want to thank all of those who have financially and
prayerfully supported me. I would not have been able to go and spread the
Gospel and show Christ’s love to those I met along the way if it wasn’t for
you. So THANK YOU!
I ask that you would continue to pray for me as I transition
back home. Pray for wisdom and direction so that I may know the next phase of
my life. Pray for healing as the pollution in China did a number on my lungs.
Pray for a car and a job as I will be in need of both (and can’t exactly have
one without the other). Pray for understanding; for me to understand those
around me and the changes or lack of changes over the past 8 months and for
them to understand the new me and the woman I have become.
Thank you. I love you all and I pray that God will bless
your life as he has truly blessed mine.
