Praise God from Whom all blessings flow! I am so undeserving of the grace He has bestowed upon me. In addition, He is allowing me to serve Him as a missionary. What an incredible opportunity He has given.
The past two months have been my busiest so far. It is so exciting to be able to meet so many new people and share the burden God has given me for reaching the Muslim people of North Africa. God has blessed tremendously! God provides in such unexpected ways. My car had to have several things fixed recently. God blessed me with a father who is able to do much of the labor. On top of this major blessing, God provided the money for the replacement parts! I really should not be amazed at how God provides exactly when I need it, but He always does.
At one Mission Conference, the Lord challenged me with a thought that is so simple yet so profound. If it’s not a faith thing, it’s not a God thing. If I can do something myself, I don’t need God. If I can do it in my strength and my intelligence, I am not having faith in God to get it done. If I can look at my budget and make faith promise giving work, it’s not faith. If I can look at my abilities and know I can go to North Africa as a missionary, it’s not faith. I have been thinking about this concept and working on more faith. I need to be trusting God, but also obeying based on this trust. I may not be able to “make it work,” but I have a God Who can.
