Home Stretch

I have been reminded quite a bit about God's unfailing love. He ever so gently leads me in the direction I dare not go alone and yet I feel peaceful and trusting. He reminds me daily that it is not by my works that I am anything but by His grace and mercy that I can speak of His love. He has provided for me in subtle ways but yet they could never be mistaken for anything but His will. He has placed on my heart passions that at times seem impossible and overwhelming but I know that they are conquerable through Him! I am reminded to shout unto God with a voice of triumph and praise!! As the clock ticks faster and faster to the day I leave the comfortable and embark on the narrow road, I can't help but to be overfilled with joy and passion and purpose. I am no longer just saying, I am doing. It's time to stop speaking shallow words of an unfathomable God but instead to live life proving there is no other Creator, Author, Father, Forgiver, Provider, Savior, but God!

Doors are being opened for me to be able to speak about my Savior in situations that normally would never be brought up! I cant help but speak about what He is doing in my life and the excitement He has sparked in my soul! I will not say no to opportunities to serve my Lord, I will embrace them with open arms.

I have a choice at this time, I can stress and worry that I won't be able to raise the money I need before I leave or I can trust and pray that God will provide for me. I am $7,000 short but I know that there is no obstacle to big for my God! Times are hard and money is tight, but God is Great!!! Thank you to everyone who has supported me, I am truly blessed! I am asking for those who are weary about donating to pray. Pray that the Lord provides for you, that He gives you a peace in this time. He won't work if we don't give Him something to work with.

I want to leave you with these song lyrics, I think they sum up everything......
We mostly keep to ourselves 'round here
No sense rockin' the boat 'round here
We watch you dance into hell 'round here
It's time we speak His mind 'round here

Oh, so open your mouth, open it wide
Quit singing songs for a minute tonight
You can love with your hands, you can love with your deeds
How will they know if they know if we don't even speak?- Jimmy Needham
