Hey Everyone,
First, I want to thank y'all for supporting not only through prayers but also financially as well. You have been such a blessing and encouragement to me.
Ok, so this past week I have been on spring break and doing a lot of preparations for South America. There were a number of odds and ends, such as some lovely shots, shopping and a few emails to send. But as I took time this week to reflect on what I will be doing for the summer, I realized that my main concern was not about getting into the countries (Colombia, Peru, Ecuador) nor on the difficulties I will face but on the people I will be working with (everyone from the missionaries I will live with to the teams coming from the States to the children we will be caring for) and on my coming home. I know I will not want to leave, but when I do and come home to North America, I do not want to be judgmental of it, nor angry but humble. Humble that the Lord choose me to live in such a "materially" blessed place. Its a struggle even now. And when I am in South America, my prayer is that God will move me out of the way so that He can receive the glory. Theses are my biggest and main concerns at the moment.
In additions, I recently found out that I will need most of my support, if not all, in by April 20th. Would you please join me in asking God for His provision and wisdom?
"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus
came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But
for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of
sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example
for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen." (1 Timothy 1:15-17)
