The theme in my devotions seems to be, once again, learning to trust God more. How privileged, and yet how vulnerable to be placed in a situation where all my needs truly are met by God. It’s not always easy, and I find myself having to remind myself continually that God will provide, that my “heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.” (Matthew 6:32b) It’s so easy to get discouraged, and I definitely have days when I forget to believe what the Bible says about God, and how He cares deeply for us and will provide what we have need of.
This stretching and growing process is definitely a result of the circumstances that God has put in my life at this time, and the direction that He has led me in. The money I need in order to buy a plane ticket to Chad in July is slowly trickling in, and I’m still not near the amount that I need yet. And until I get the money and buy my plane ticket, I can’t start the visa process; something that needs to begin very soon. It’s sometimes hard not to question God, and wonder why He would tell me to do something and then not provide a way for me to do it. But, He has been challenging me to trust Him again in a new and deeper way and to rest in the knowledge that He has indeed called me to go to Chad this summer and that He will make a way for me to go. Resting in that knowledge sounds like such a wonderful thing… rest… but oh! it’s so difficult to actually do! Pray for me during this time. Pray that I will be able to trust Him more, and that I will not worry.
Right now, I am in need of people to partner along side of me and help me to raise the funds needed in order to cover the travel and visa expenses to Chad. This is an urgent need, and I pray that you would pray about how you can become a part of this ministry make it possible for me to bless this missionary family as they serve God. I know that all things are possible through Christ, and that God can and will provide for this. He has shown me without a doubt that He is leading me to Chad this summer, and is gently urging me to trust Him as He provides what I need.
If you are interested in working alongside of me as I travel to Chad to serve this missionary family, donations may be sent to:
Central Community Church

Prayer Requests:
