“THE LORD HAS DETERMINED OUR PATH, HOW THEN CAN ANYONE UNDERSTAND THE DIRECTION HIS OWN LIFE IS TAKING…”
Proverbs 20:24. So true…
It is so awesome to think that nothing catches our Father by surprise. Even though He does put us in situations whe we have all those “Why?, I don’t understand..”questions, He tells us :” You do not understand now what I am doing, but you will understand later” (John 13:7).
Our team, we had no idea when we came to Mexico that on the 23-rd of February, 2008 will be such a bittersweet day. It took us by surprise, that five of us left back to their homes in the States, out of their obedience to the Lord, even though this was not what they were expecting God to tell them to do.
It was such a great encouragement to see each one of my team members spending time with God , seeking Him, his direction, how He wanted to use this experience we went through personally in our lives. This is what Ifeoma, my little sister from the team:-) says: ” My reason for leaving is because God told me.I feel like all my reasons for staying are all selfish. I feel like if I stayed here, I wouldn’t be listening to God” She is 18 and she is one of the girls who left this morning with Laura and Jess, John and Matt. Hm….they are already dearly missed… But you know, what amazes me is that the JOY of the Lord overcomes every sadness if we trust Him using every circumstance for our own good as He has promised!
So, now just please pray that all of us who stayed we would grow closer to each other for the Lord’s glory more then ever and just radiate His great love around the mexicans. Pray also for those who went home that they would continue to daily walk in the Lord faitfhully seeking His direction for their lives.
Thank you very much!
And thank you for being in constant prayers for this ministry, for being interested in the Lord’s work in Mexico! I really appreciate it and it is a big big encouragement for me!
