It's funny how God works sometimes. I've been trying to figure out what to write about. I'm not very good at this blogging thing. So I sometimes won't write for awhile because I don't always know what to say. But I've found that as I write God uses what I write to teach me. I tend to write about the thing that I need to hear the most or the thing I need the most. What do I need the most now? PRAYER. I've been missing out recently on my prayer and quiet time. I keep going and going and don't take time to stop and listen to what God is telling me. I'm scared of what he's going to tell me. Fear has really been gripping me lately. I'm afraid of what's to come, I'm afraid of the unknown. It's stopping me from experiencing God now and now is when I need him most! So how do I change? How do I go from busy, busy, busy, to just being and listening to what God is saying? Saying no to doing thing? Getting up early in the morning? making some sort of routine to take that time to listen and pray. And it's not just praying for me but praying for the other girls going with me, for the girls over there that we'll be working with, for Swaziland, etc. It's so much bigger then me. Also, I need pray partners. I need people to be specifically praying for this trip and what God is doing! I can't do it alone and would love for anyone who is willing to pray for me and the trip! I've been amazed by how God has provided for me for this trip and how generous and supportive people have been. So I know God's hand is guiding me and leading me in each step of the way! "Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
