Who knew?
So, I have got to say that I was truly excited about coming to Asia but never thought I would love it as much as I do. Yes, the people are great, the food is fantastic and the culture is just plain fun. But that isn’t the main reason I love it here.
When we first arrived in Asia, God reminded me of my desire to travel and to be a missionary and how He had finally brought me to this place… but in His timing, not mine. He said, “I love you so much that I will give you ALL the desires of your heart, just wait on My timing ‘cuz it’s perfect!”
If you know me well, then you know my BIGGEST desire and that is to get married and start a family of my own. That’s the one thing that has tugged on my heart since I was about 4 years old. And no, it isn’t about the fancy wedding… I could care less about that… that is only one day! I am excited about spending the rest of my life with a godly man who can lead our family and someone I can walk along side as we grow closer to our Father. Just thinking about it now brings my heart joy!
There isn’t a problem having this desire but there is a problem when I let it block out what God is doing right now. So, since being in Asia, God has taught me to lay it down and to love Him. And His love is the only love I need. Yes, I know my future husband is out there and I am excited about that but waiting for him is more than fine. And boy, does he have some big shoes to fill! Because God’s love is AMAZING!
God has also revealed some great things about the future that have helped me understand my past and why I went through some things and why I am on the World Race.
God is good!
As far as support goes, I am at $7.666 (in my account… thanks to the recent anonymous donation!!!). Because I am so far behind, AIM has asked me to post several blogs a week, call people, email and whatever I can do to get some more support in. I am asking anyone who can help, please do. If you can support me financially (with as little or as much as you possibly can) please do so. If you can pray for the money to come in and that this doesn’t hinder ministry (because my mind needs to be focused on ministry), then take 10 minutes out of each day to pray. If you can send out emails, newsletters, make phone calls, have a raffle, have a garage sale, etc. If you feel led to support me in anyway, please do so. I am not worried about being sent home, I just know I am supposed to be here. God chose to use me around the world but He is also using me on my team. God has taught me a ton through the World Race and even more through my team. Please help keep me on the race! I ask with urgency!
