Today my Passport Arrived!

Last night I spent an hour or so putting together a letter to my prayer team. Pure Mission has been  great with suggesting multiple areas for prayer coverage...Although I think I have thought of everything, I trust my team to follow the Holy Spirit's leading. After all He knows best what I will need.

I applied for my passport less than two weeks ago and was thoroughly surprised that it arrived today! That is so like God...two days ago while I was praying I found myself questioning my call to go to Africa for just a moment (even though I am certain I am supposed to go) sometimes a thought runs through my head that maybe I heard wrong, maybe I am somehow listening to my own voice and not the Lord's...I said something like "if I definitely am supposed to go let me get my passport right away Lord". It typically takes 4-6 weeks for a passport to arrive, mine came 12 days after

I had applied. Thank you Father that even when I question you, you are trustworthy. Just as you knew that Thomas needed to see you and touch your scars, sometimes when our faith waivers, we need you to show us something tangible...we need to know that what You have said is real for us to continue on.

I am thankful for your compassionate nudgings and all of the ways you have guided my spirit in this calling.

"The Lord always keeps His promises; He is gracious in all He does. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their Loads." - Psalm 145:13

It has been an emotional roller coaster preparing for this trip. Fund raising has been a disappointment in so many ways. Everything I have expected has been turned upside down. The only thing that I am certain of right now is that God is trust worthy, that when He calls a servant and they answer with  "yes, I will go for you", that He will make a way. No matter what things "look like", I will trust in Your voice Lord, which my heart has most certainly heard. I am thankful for the mercy of this little sign in answer to my momentary doubt. Lord You are so gracious to me!
