Work in Progress
Did you ever sing that song "He's still working on me, to make me what I ought to be"? I learned it when I was little and it was fun to sing, but it is so much more true as I grow older. The process of God working in my life is so much more evident than it was when I was 8 years old.
I recently posted this on facebook because when I logged on Facebook greeted me and said "What's on your mind?". So, I decided to type what was on my mind. Too incredibly long for a Facebook update, but I did it anyway. And, now I'm going to post it here because it is the truth. And, it is indeed evident that God is still working in my heart and life to make me "what I ought to be". Hopefully when He's done I'll have a little reflection of Him in my life.
I like being independent, self-sufficient and not having to rely on others for help. The problem with this is that God has burdened our hearts to leave everything and do mission work in West Africa. God is humbling me as I have to ask others to help financially support us while we are overseas. I hate it. I wish I could just financially support myself -but I can't. I won't be allowed to work. I cry every time I find that someone has become financially invested in our mission. I am overwhelmed that they are part of what God is doing and that God is using us both in different ways. I am learning to understand that He gives me the opportunity to go, while He is giving others the opportunity to sacrifice financially and give. It's hard for me, but it's good for me. I'm posting a picture of our current financial status and ask that you please PRAY and if you feel burdened to become a part of our stateside team, let me know. And after I stop crying I'll call or write back. We serve an amazing God that chooses to work in incredible ways.
