The Lord has never shown me that He can handle anything more than in the last three weeks. Really, everyday I am amazed at His provision. I know He always takes care of His children, Matthew 6:25-34 tells us so. It just tells us to seek the kingdom and everything will be okay. I know He wants me to go to Mozambique and He is with me along every little bump in the road. He is really teaching me that I have nothing to worry about and even though I occasionally feel like He has the wrong person picked out for this job, He always gives me peace. I just want to share some testimonies of how the Lord has provided. Even if you are going through a hard time and trials can cause worry, stress, and uncertainty, I just encourage you too seek Him. He wants to show His love and He also wants us to trust. 2 Corinthians 12:9 tells us that His power is shown through our weakness. When things look impossible and we can't possibly do them in the flesh...great! God loves to show that He can do the impossible. Anyways, just keep up the faith and trust. Abba loves more than you could ever imagine.
Testimonies:
- Last week I found out I needed another $1000 plan ticket from Johannesburg to Pemba...not really in the budget. I was really about to cry, thinking I was never going to be able to get that kind of money, but I decided to trust Jesus and go spend some time with Him. Within 24 hours I had all the money I needed. I didn't even have to ask, I would just get emails and phone calls from people who didn't even know my situation. God is good!
- Since I got the plane ticket 15 days before I am supposed to leave, I needed to be really quick getting my visa. The Lord really showed up during this time. I was sitting in the Earth Fare parking lot with my mom and suddenly got frozen in fear. I can be somewhat careless, so I was afraid I would make a mistake. I really didn't want to fill it out. My mom ran into one of our elders at church and he had applied for a Visa lots of times. He was able to help me out. I couldn't have asked for a better person!
- My Visa got accepted, Praise the Lord! However, when I called the Embassy to see when someone could pick it up, they said I must pick it up...I was unaware of this. Knowing I am absolutely no reason to panic, I just prayed and talked to my mom. I called the Embassy back to see if I could have someone bring an envelope over, and she said that's okay! Yes, all taken care of! Then she called back 10 minutes later and said that she was not allowed to do this, but she already said yes, so she had too. :) Only the Lord could have done this.
- One final one, but I guess it's awesome to have so many! :) I was supposed to get my wisdom teeth out today. I was really looking forward to it, and after getting laughing gas and an IV the orthodontist took my pulse...and then kept taking it... and looked at my parents and said the surgery couldn't be done today; I had an irregular heartbeat. I could be serious, so I got whisked off to the doctors where I had some tests. I know it is really a blessing that all of this happened. My leg has also had issues my whole life that has prevented me from doing lots of cardio. The doctor said that the heart condition could be the type of thing where people die on the playing field. My leg has been prayed for and prayed for, but it has not grown. I have seen legs grow out all around me and always was a little sad when mine wouldn't grow. I now know it could have totally been the Lord's protection so that I could get this heart issue worked out before I do cardio.
So If you are questioning God, He really does see the whole picture! When could just be seeing a tiny part and wondering what the heck is going on. He knows what is the absolute best for you! He loves you so much! Let His show it! Be encouraged at how He is moving! Love you all! Be blessed!
