But with all the excitement, I have not lost sight of Peru. I admit that the time I was investing in support raising for Peru and working the youth internship has not been balanced, but I still am aware of where God is taking me. I've been in correspondence with South America Mission about a departure date and, while one is still not set, they are very certain that they would like me there by the time school starts on August 17. I do not have all the funds I need to go for a full two years, but they are working on crunching the numbers and finding out how long I can stay with the funds that I have. We are spending a lot of time in prayer about this and Friday, July 15, we should have answers. I will be sure to keep you all informed. All I ask is that you stay in prayer with me that the Lord's will would happen in His way and in His timing.
I have no idea why, if the Lord has been so clear with me about His wil for me to go to Peru, it has been so difficult to raise the funds. All I know is that His hand is on this and all I can do is trust. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."
I don't know why you do what you do, Lord, all I know is that it is good and that there is a purpose. Just use me how you see fit. Thank you for allowing me to bless you by being a blessing to others. I pray that whatever happens in my life, whether it's what I expected or not, I can bless Your Name and bring glory to the Father. Amen
Ashley we understand exactly how you are feeling. We are at 35% and need to be at at least 75%... we know God has called us and so we must trust Him in His timing. Praying for you much, Sara and Marty
