When I was first thinking about
going into ministry my main fear was raising support and having enough funding
to provide for me and my future family. I expressed this vocally when I met
with a representative from Push The Rock in the fall of 2014. Over the past
four months God has met this fear head on. I still have some anxiety of if we
will meet our goals and budget, but the overall fear has left. I am confident
that He will provide because I know He has put this call on my heart to be
doing sport ministry in Guatemala. The past month I have especially felt this
calming sense of giving everything to God.
Recently I have not been the best
at spending time in the morning talking to God and spending time with Him.
However, God has been showing himself to me by answering some prayers throughout
my work day and activities throughout my week. A few examples include: asking
God to help me find a missing gas cap to a mower I was using, asking God to
help our car start after leaving us sit at a gas station, and asking God to
help me to love people when they live different lifestyles than I do.
These may seem like small or silly
examples, but through these experiences God has reminded me that he always cares
about my life and is constantly pursing me, and He wants me to continue to get
to know Him. It has been such an encouraging reminder using the small day to
day challenges and details that I tend to overlook.
We would love for you to continue
to be praying for us as we look into purchasing tickets for our move in the
next month as well as getting documents certified and notarized by different
government organizations.
Right now we are down in North Carolina visiting with Shauna's uncle and aunt and going to be speaking at their church, Project:Re3, on Sunday. During our travel time we took this picture :)
Thank you all again for your
prayers and financial support as we continue on this journey God is leading us.
Lord willing we will be in Guatemala in three months! If you have any questions
or would like to talk to us about our journey just let either of us know.
God works through the smallest details.
