Guatemala has been on my mind a lot lately. With only 2 in a
half months before we move there, I can’t help but think about what living
there will be like. However I must confess. I found myself thinking about the
negative in moving there and not the positive. I began viewing it as a burden
and not a blessing. I felt very convicted over it and realized that my attitude
needed to change.
Yes there will be hard times. But it is in these hard times
and sufferings that God refines us. I just need to trust him.
I am thankful that he is preparing and refining Mitch and I
each day for our move. It will be one of the hardest but most rewarding
experiences of our lives thus far. I know there are exciting times ahead and
praise God for choosing Mitch and I for this task.
"Spirit lead me where my trust is without boarders,
let me walk upon the waters wherever you would call me."
This is truly my prayer.
Amanda, this song and prayer gets me through the days where I find moving a burden instead of a blessing!! I know EXACTLY how you feel! It's the unknown that's so scary, but its the unknown and the step of faith that will strengthen our faith in him.
