And He is Faithful

  "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you  not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
Matthew 6:25-27

For reasons that reason cannot understand I am overwhelmed and filled with joy at the fact that my arrival in Mali is coming ever so swiftly. I am only four months away from the experience that will forever change the way that I live and breathe. I am so excited for all that God is doing in me as He prepares my heart for what is to come. Trusting in Him as my provider is something that I daily have to remember. It is coming to be time where money is due, and plans are actually starting to be made. Every day I stretch my brain out to try and think of a new way that I can raise funds as I am now actually going to have to support myself. I treasure every moment of thoughts as I see faces in my mind of the Men, Women, and Children that I will shortly be in contact with and be able to share the love of Jesus with.  "For those who lose their life for my sake, will find it." That is my desire. To be entirely given over to the Lover of my soul even unto death. I pray that the Lord would use me beyond my own measure and bring others into the salvation that He so freely and abundantly gives.
