yesterday, i got the muchly anticipated phone call from erik @ the berlin base
and i am officially accepted...
which has encouraged me so much!
before hanging up, he reminded me not to lose heart...
over the past 3 days i have received more financial support, and i am so thankful for all who continue to listen to the pulls on their hearts....
but i am still quite a ways off from having the full amount just yet..
i know God is providing and leading my steps.
exodus 33:14-15...
The Lord replied, "I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest-everything will be fine for you."
Then Moses said, "If you don't personally go with us, don't make us leave this place..."
that is where my heart is... if God doesn't go before me, then i'm fighting a losing battle. by ourselves, whoa.....!
we are in trouble....
but He doesn't call us to this fight alone!
may His presence continue to lead our steps towards the lost, hungry, wounded....
the pregnant teen... the lonely middle school student...
the oppressed... the helpless...
the forgotten.
move... because if we aren't the ones oppressed, then maybe we are the ones oppressing...
i'm going to continue to go for this because i know that it will make a difference. it will reach someone. it will change hearts. and it's not because of me.... but because of God's love and grace that He continues to pour inside of us to overflow on those around us... those who haven't accepted that sacrifice yet...
if it comes down to boarding the plane with insufficient funds, i'll do it believing...
i trust God!
i believe...
and here's my squeaky wheel role...
the Discipleship Training School starts on April 5th... i am still low, from a humanly perspective, quite a bit... but choose with me to look at it with a different perspective...
if you would like to support me financially for this dts and outreach, please trust God...
and most of all, please continue your prayers, they carry me through my own doubt and discouraging thoughts...

preferably the first one...
and again i urge you.... you don't have to be in another country to make a difference. have some empathy this week as you see others who need help. God loves them just as much as He loves you.
no one is in any way better than another because of the life they live.
before anything else, we were all made in the image of the invisible.
you can do something where you are...
but don't forget those who don't have the comforts or resources you have.
i would almost argue that they have it better. when life is lived in a constant state of needed trust in God, miracles are noticed a lot more often. eating becomes a miracle.
Father, i choose to trust You in all of this. i know that where You call, You provide...
i ask that You bless 100 fold to those who are willing to step out in faith and support this calling. may Your will be done with all of this, and may our faith in You continue to grow...
we love You... thank You for the callings You place in our hearts. make us part of Your awesome plan and to get past ourselves.
please pull me...us out of our comfort zones to reach more of Your beloved, and recklessly follow Your heart.
thank You for loving all of us, even when we realize how unworthy we are of it. may our hearts be humbled and our eyes be opened!
thank You for Jesus!
it's in His name that we can trust You, and that others will believe!
help us get out of the way so that Jesus may be seen!
amen!
i love all of you, and again, thank you for all of your prayers.
the initial pain of faith is worth it.
