So...I've been thinking a lot about God's faithfulness lately. It's been really helping me get through these random bouts of fear and sadness...so I checked some things out...
The Bible talks about God's faithfulness over 100 times...wow, that's a lot.:)
And I was reminded today that the command to "Fear not" is spoken 365 times in His Word...one time for every day of the year. Suffice? Yes.
God has proven himself faithful in my life time and time and time again...not once has He let me down...and yet I continue to DOUBT. It's pretty much annoying, I've decided. But...I am only human. So I'm trying to cling to His faithfulness...and at the same time, trying to live faithfully unto Him in return. It's hard. The race is long. I get easily frustrated and try to do everything on my own strength. But His grace is sufficient.
I'm leaving the country in exactly 3 weeks. And every day I think more and more about those kids at NPH Honduras and how we'll greet each other when I arrive. It's gonna be SO "cheque!!" Cool. And it will only be the beginning...
God is good.
"I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in His word I put my hope..." Psalm 130:5

The Countdown Has Begun...
Well, here I am, exactly 4 weeks away from a scary step into semi-uncharted territory...wowzas!
I'm a bundle of emotions rolled into one...sad, scared, excited, nervous, missing people already and avoiding good-byes...I just can't believe I'm doing this. I've always been told that God's plan for my life is way bigger than any box I could ever put around it or Him...and well, this trip really blows the walls out of any box I had ever put around the way that I thought my life should go.
Never would I have thought that I'd be an international missionary.
Never would I have thought that I'd EVER really learn a foreign language.
Never would I have imagined leaving everyone and everything I love so much at home.
Ahhhhh!
It by God's grace alone that I prepare to move forward on to Honduras...
It is by His grace that I will be sustained and find strength...
It is by His grace that I will accomplish all that He has prepared in advance for me to do.
So please pray for me. I need it every step of the way.
But more importantly, pray for the kids of NPH Honduras. I want them to know the love of Christ that He wants to lavish on them...that they may know that they are called His beloved children.
