Time is flying by, and I find myself a few weeks out from going to Papua New Guinea. Classes are rousing and perspective-shifting, worship is beautiful, and life is wonderful. I know I'm in the middle of something amazing, and that I am where God has called me to be for this season of my life; because of the reality of God's calling on my life, I can honestly say that there's no place on Earth I'd rather be. I miss people from home, and I miss some aspects of my Michigan life, but I don't miss them in the sense of wishing to be back home. I'm coming to understand what surrendering my life to God truly means. I'm realizing how far I've come and how far I've yet to go. My excitement for the future is rising, and I'm understanding a little more of what that future will be.
Much of my focus is on my outreach period. I just have to wait for a month and $3000 before my team and I head out to PNG. The former will come steadily, without outside assistance (the nature of time being what it is). The second needs your prayers and support... I would like to ask each of you reading this to pray to the Lord and ask Him if you are to give financially toward my outreach and if so, how much. Please be obedient to God in any circumstance- the Lord may tell you that you are not to give, or He may tell you to give a certain sum. Whatever the case, I pray that the Holy Spirit guide you and bless you. Regardless, prayers are very much asked for, welcomed, and appreciated!!
Do you have a departure date? Will you be in Hawaii for Christmas?
ReplyDeleteWe're leaving between the 18th and the 21st, so will not be in Hawaii for Christmas... We'll likely be in Mount Hagen, PNG.
