Wow. bad blogger award goes to me! What a busy last two months we've had. busy kids. busy schedules. busy minds. busy processing. busy praying. busy... thinking of ways to keep busy so my mind didn't have time to really think. What I really mean is, If I really took the time to think about our decision to move to Ethiopia, the preparations that are taking place, the funding that needs to happen to GO, the boxing up of our belongings for storage while we are gone... I was only letting myself think enough for those thoughts & feelings to not come up to surface...Because, although we know that Ethiopia is where God is calling us to, it doesn't mean it comes without doubts, questions, fears...
I believe it so deep in my core, that God is moving us into this next season of our lives in Ethiopia. Each & every time I have questioned the how's, what-if's etc etc etc....He shows up in His big & mighty ways! Why is it that I question everything so often?! Why do I doubt His word?! He tells us over & over in scripture...
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,
Deut. 7:9
But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. Psalm 86:15
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. Ina all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21
Thankful for a very patient & faithful God, who never stops loving us in our times of fear, anxiousness, apprehension... So blessed to have friends & family in our life that support our family as we take this huge step!! As of today, we have one generous monthly sponsor and two generous one-time donations that have brought us so much closer to our One-Time departure expense!! We are so thankful for each of you & the way you are loving our family. Again, here is the link to our ministry website, www.hhmafrica.org... We would be honored if you'd be willing to share it with your family and friends if you feel led to do so! Blessings to you this weekend. xo
