God is so good and his timing is perfect. This week has been incredibly busy with medical stuff, team stuff, kid stuff, life in general. So after our team meeting I was feeling discouraged and frustrated. So as I went for an ice cream run I spent some time in prayer and venting my concerns to the Lord. Of course he quickly brought to my attention that I was looking at things from my own perspective and not his. So I decided to just rest in him and go about my day and trust him with the details. Not 5 minutes after I got back to the church a little girl named Abbie brought me a precious little letter that said she was praying for our team and that she can't wait to see people get saved or at least see how Jesus loves them. I was so touched that I cried. Not only did she minister encouragment to me, but I glimpsed a small part of the big picture. Our trip is an example to the younger kids. They have a part of what God is doing through their prayers. When we go and when we return with testamonies, they will see how God works. God taught me that I need to focus on him and let him be my rear guard; let him handle the results. I need to keep walking in faith, keep listening, keep learning, keep loving. To God be the glory!!
PS Never underestimate the power of a kind word, a note of encouragement, a caring phone call. With email it has never been easier to send a missionary a short note letting them know they are not alone, and that you have prayed for them. Don't put it off, send one now!
