You know, God is so good. I have just been contemplating His goodness for the past few days. Every time there is something that goes wrong...which has happened a lot these past few weeks, all I have to do is say "God, this is Your moment." and He comes through.
About a week and a half ago I was given the chance to preach at the Thursday night chapel that we have here on the compound. I didn't really know what to preach on so I went to one of my favorite scriptures which is Jeremiah 1:5-8 which says "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations. Then I said "Ah Lord God! Behold I cannot speak for I am a youth." But the Lord said to me "Do not say I am a youth for you shall go to all to whom I send you and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces for I am with you to deliver you says the Lord." I love this scripture because so often I have felt too young, but I wanted to tell my students that God had the ability to use them now if they would let Him. I ended up talking more about miracles than anything else. I challenged them to step out in faith and see what God would do. That was Thursday, on Friday I had just about everything go wrong, and I had a lot to deal with...but just as usual, God did what He does.
At this point I have no problem believing God to provide financially, most of the time it is through all of you, but I was reminded this morning of when I went to Africa, and a customer at the coffee shop handed me a check for $2,000. There really is nothing that is impossible for God. I'm getting ready to start school, as you know, and honestly I am a little bit scared, as I have never been to school in a foreign country before, but I have full confidence that God will do what He does. I am encouraged, and I just wanted you all to be encouraged too. Much love!
