I have been home for just under an month from the race and time seems to be magically slipping away. Christmas is almost here and before I know it the time will come to pack my bags again and head south for a bit. I leave home in THREE WEEKS…
What insanity.
Who’s idea was this??
To come home from the World Race with weeks to prepare for a new mission??
I tell you, it was Jesus.
I remember with much clarity pacing the length of the porch outside of our home in Thailand while talking to Adventures on the phone.
I rattled off a list of reasons why the fall of 2016 was much better than coming in January. Among my reasons probably the most important reason I had was to be self sufficient. I wanted to come home, work, and save. To pay my own bills and to provide my own way to CGA with no help.
After all, that would just be so much easier. I wouldn’t have to explain anything. I could just tell people about my life instead of inviting them to become apart of it by helping me get there though prayer and finances.
I remember pacing that porch in Thailand wondering if the decision I was making was the right one because after all. It really made no logical sense. To come home in the swing of the holidays and to pray for funds to come in before the new year?
I woke up this morning with a fresh perspective. I was trusting and not moving. Unwavering faith my friends, unwavering.
Reading through the story of Elizabeth and Zachariah a lot.The Lord asked me to look a little deeper and beyond the opening to Christ’s birth.

“For with God nothing will be impossible.” Luke 1:37
After years upon years of being barren she became pregnant.
That is what God does. He makes things happen when they shouldn’t. He makes crooked paths straight.
In the midst of my time crunch I got sick. So sick that I couldn’t do any blogging, reading, or talking. I jet laid in bed and asked God to move for me. So he did. Because after all, that is what he does.
I have a little over $1,000 to go and my first deadline will be met! The biggest deadline I have is the first so let do this!!
