Wow... what a difference a day makes! Twenty four hours ago, I was throwing a fit because I was tired of being patient and waiting. I felt overwhelmed by all the things God was calling me to trust Him on. Thankfully his mercies are new every morning.
After spending some time in prayer and in the Word, I started to see him moving in specific areas. These areas just last night that I finally surrendered to His faithful hands.
As I am rereading this post I realize how vague it is... so for clarification purposes... one of the trust issues was over finances for the upcoming Egypt trip. Some might beg to differ with my convictions on this but I truly believe that when God calls you to do something He will provide. Normally when I go on a "missions" related trip... I send out support letters asking for prayer and donations. After reading the George Mueller story along with several other missionary stories, I felt God calling me to take a step out on faith and trust Him for the financial aspect. As I have been looking for tickets to Egypt they have been around $1700... way out of my reach but not too big for God. I also had not gotten a peace about buying the tickets yet. Well this morning when I went into my office... I sat down to check email and the first one is from the lady in Egypt that I am working with for the teaching conference. She was confirming the trip and a few details. I replyed back and then pulled up orbitz for my travel arrangements to check on prices.... basically overnight they had dropped in price by $300. God finally gave me His peace to buy the tickets trusting that He will provide what is needed when it is needed!
Throughout the day God provided a couple of other glimpses of what He was doing while I am waiting. Ultimately it is not about me... If I could do it, my need for Him would diminish.
