Wow! What an amazing week! I want to thank everyone for being open and allowing our Abba Father stretch them! I am so proud of all of you for the growth I have seen in you! I hope and pray that none of us come back disappointed. As I was journaling on the plane home I felt The Lord saying that we always want to make a difference BUT we need to remember that WE ARE THE DIFFERENCE! As we allow God to change our hearts we become the difference in the lives of the people He puts in our paths! This week we were able to be the difference for the Zuni youth and Pastor Paul's family. We were able to plant seeds and now we r to water them in prayer that the fruits will begin to grow. I also believe God wanted to blow up our boxes on what a mission trips looks like! It's all about what He wants and how He wants things done. It is never about our schedules and what we want to accomplish. We were definitely stretched!
I also want to tell everyone how faithful God is to me! For those who don't know I was praying leading up to our trip and I kept getting the name Angel. I hope pray for Angel and asked The Lord to bless her or him. Well, when I had opportunity to interact with the local people I would ask if they knew of an Angel. Well on Thursday our plans had changed we went to visit some other BIC missionaries. There were neighborhood children who would visit the missionaries, well I found out and met a young nine year old who was named Angel! I explained to her what we were doing and she allowed me to pray over her and take a picture. God is amazing!
Many blessings!
