It has been a crazy week!!

Putting aside our normal daily work responsibilities and commitments to our local church, we have been hard at work trying to get everything in order for our ministry. Contacting people and churches in an attempt to raise funds is only the beginning of it. There are prayer cards and brochures that have to be designed and printed, a new dedicated laptop for our ministry that had to be purchased (ok... we liked that part ;) ), weekly reports that have to be filled out for HCJB, and much much more. Not to mention just basic tasks like laundry and dishes. Putting it altogether is quite overwhelming.

We know that we cannot accomplished all the tasks above by our own strength, but that we need to trust that the Lord will provide for all our needs. I will be honest though, giving to God all of our daily challenges can be tough. When I look at this seemingly impenetrable mountain of tasks before Sarah and I, it scares me. I think why my God, surely there is someone better fit than myself to be used. Someone who is a better fund raiser, a better time manager, better at social networking, or just a better Christian. But when I start thinking down these lines, I have to stop and remember the assurances God has already given us that we are following his plan, and that if we are truly following his will for our life, then he will provide for the needs that we have. I won't claim it to always be easy, but I trust in the Lord my God, and I am excited to see how he is going to use Sarah and I.

May God bless you and keep you safe,
