These past few weeks have been really hard. Here it is October and I'm only about 2% in my funding. As many of you reading this know I want to be in Ecuador sometime in January. Because my perspective is so tiny I get discouraged when I think about the percentage of funds I still need. Our God is a great and wonderful God though. Last week my aunt was in for a few days. I got the pleasure of seeing her just before she flew back to Georgia. In those few moments I told her how discouraged I felt looking at all the facts and the reality of my situation. She reminded me that even though it’s October and I’m 2% supported our God is bigger and time is no concern of His.
Last week I also got the chance to catch up with a very good friend of mine. She told me how Jesus is using her transparency to challenge others in the small groups she is involved with. As I drove home that night and even as I sit here and write this it challenges me. My whole thrust in this blog isn’t to have you pity me, but to pray for me. Preparing to go is hard. It has been especially hard knowing my dad doesn’t want to see me go nor does he understand why I’m going. Satan has really used that and my lack of financial support to discourage me. Yet as I said earlier our God, Jesus, is a great God and He has sent great encouragement and challenge through my family and friends.
This week Jesus reminded me of a verse that has slowly won my heart.
Genesis 16:13
—Hagar named the Lord who spoke to her, “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Here I have seen one who sees me!”—
Jesus see’s me even though I feel discouraged and alone in this journey to Ecuador!
