The past few weeks have seemed like a whirlwind. After I got home, my family and I spent some time relaxing together at one of our favorite vacation spots in the Ozark Mountains. From there, I traveled to Dallas for some work for a few days. While I was there, I got a chance to catch up with an old friend. We visited with family and even went to a Cowboys game. Needless to say, it was a great stress reliever! I'm not really a huge sports fan but it was nice to see the Cowboys beat the Broncos. As I mentioned before, I got a chance to visit with several new faces. It was so refreshing to visit with them and hear about the work that our Shepherd is doing in other parts of the country. Definitely my favorite part of the trip.
There were also a few pleasant surprises regarding my support raising. Two people told me that they would like to support me while I am in Spain and when I returned home, I found check in the mail from another surprise supporter. Then, I went to a baby shower on Sunday and was able to briefly catch up with some dear people from church who said that they would both financially and prayerfully support me. When I think about it all, I feel so overwhelmed. My Friend knows how much I dislike this process and how much I would rather just share His vision with people. I feel so blessed to rest in his provision.
I must admit that I had not asked Him about what my role in this process should be. I found myself, once again asking for his forgiveness and longing to learn His way throughout every part of this journey with Him. It is so unnatural for me to think about including him in every decision- small or large. He is so other than anyone I have ever known. I'm thankful for his patience with me and willingness to teach me through my mistakes.
My Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills... may my words match the way I live my life.
