Where the rubber meets the road

Well, it's probably time for a more personal blog here, not that I know of anyone reading it yet. Things are moving forward for the missions side of my life. I have a few churches lined up between the end of April and the beginning of July where I'll be sharing about my ministry and inviting people to join me in it. Powerpoints are being worked on, today I'll finalize my brochure, and I'm wracking my brain trying to come up with nice decorations for a table setting. I'm excited though. Just in the few personal conversations I've had with people, I've surprised myself over and over with how much I can talk about this calling on my life and how passionately I feel about the work I'm going to go do.

It sure is a time of trusting. At church this past Sunday and at bible study yesterday, two different people spoke encouraging words to me, saying God will provide because he owns the cattle on a thousand hills. What are a couple of bucks to him! I told them that I'll need to hear that often, so I hope God keeps sending them. :-) I'm trusting that God will bring the right people to partner in this ministry, and I'm trusting that it will happen in HIS timing, not my own. I'm trusting he'll provide for my in-between needs (as he already is), and I'm trusting that this will be a time of intense personal stretching (as it already it).

Thanks for your prayers and partnership! May he stretch you, too!
