Challenges

Historically, I'm a planner. I like to know what's going on - yesterday. Sometimes this is a good trait, but sometimes I plan God out of things, trying to accomplish tasks using only my own strength. So you can imagine how God might seek to break me of this. In the past few days there have been a few challenges. There was a glitch in the mission application that was recently caught, which has tightened the already snug deadline for raising support for the Russia trip. The fleshly part of me is skeptical that I'll raise enough in time, but I know in my heart that if the Lord wants me to go, He will provide. He is faithful. Obstacles are nothing to Him.
Let's praise our amazing God for who He is and what He is doing -- in the U.S., in Russia and in Spain. Praise the Lord!
