Worry comes easy to me. I suppose that alone shows that my faith is not always as strong as I'd like to think it is. But throughout these last two months, God has given me an amazing peace that He will provide. He has assured me time and time again that I am following His leading with this move to Guatemala City. And His Word is loaded with promises that as I step out in faith, HE will work it all out and provide for my every need, working miracles as He so desires.
I needed to raise approx. $25,000 this summer in order to be 100% funded. Currently, I'm at maybe 50% of that goal. And I fly out in 6 days. Typically, this is the point in time when I would start to panic and become very stressed. But not this time, thanks to God's great grace. I know that the Lord will provide in His way in His time. I may receive a check for all the missing amount my last day at home. Or I may leave thinking I'm not fully funded only to arrive in Guatemala and receive an e-mail that a donation for the missing amount has been sent to the NLAI headquarters in Texas. Or, maybe God has a completely different plan in mind. But what I do know, is that God is faithful to keep His promises and one of those promises is this:
"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (Mark 11:22-24)
So, please join me in praying that the rest of my support will come in. If you are interested in joining the team of people supporting me financially in order that I may continue serving the Lord in Guatemala, please visit the following website for information on how to give: http://www.nlai.org/contributions.php
