On top


God is doing amazing things! Just this month He is showing me how the fruit of the little things He has led me to do (such as pray with a friend) has led to big results! I think He wants to show me this so that I am not discouraged when I am in Lebanon and it feels like what I am doing is of limited worth. It is not with Him, because He gives us this grace that brings us confidence in Him, which allows us to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine!
(This is found in Ephesians 3:10-22.)
I am truly learning how to give up what is comfortable in order to let Christ be everything to me. After having "accomplished" all I could this year: getting to know a new area, becoming a "seasoned" Marriage and Family Therapist...I am now facing having to start over: learning a new language, training in new skills such as teaching...I don't fully understand God's way in this. It is why "His ways are not my ways..." (Is. 55:8).
