Wait for the Lord

        So, the support letters are sent, the challenge for families in my home church to say with words and actions, “We’re In,” has been made. I have had to fight the battle of myself and wrestle the thoughts of worry, doubt, and control out of my head. I have come to find that asking for people to partner with me, is not easy, not because I do not believe that this is what God is calling me to do by any means, but because asking for partners is kind of like putting all your passions, dreams, and even a big part of your own heart out there for others see, it can be a very venerable time. Waiting to see if someone is going to catch the passion and fire, God has given me for this ministry is a hard thing. Hearing negatives and skepticisms are not easy, when you place the heart God has given you out for all to see. However, this is where our hearts are called to be, to be open and honest with what God has placed inside them, to show the world, God's passions and love through our own hearts, and not to close that off and hide it away. 

      Although this process can be hard, I know my hopes, passions, dreams, and heart for this ministry is God given. So everything else that needs to go along with these, the courage, strength, patience, financial and prayer support, and documents/visa, will be God given as well. I am standing on the the promises He has given me, in full faith that He will provide. This is His plan for my life, and I am just get to follow it and walk hand in hand with Him wherever He leads.

Psalm 27:13-14, “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.”

Psalm 37:7a, “Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret.”

Isaiah 41:13, “For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”
