Calling All Prayer Warriors...

I first want to say that I am amazed at how many people are reading this blog and offering such support on this journey. This has been an incredible way for me to process and deal with the emotions swirling around in me as well as allow people to connect to what God is so graciously doing in my life. I pray that through my words, God will provide you with some encouragement, joy, or insight on your own path to Him. I know that He has used so many of you to do just that for me.

Now I have a favor to ask of you. I need PRAYER!! One of my greatest joys recently has been going to the throne on behalf of brothers and sisters and asking that God would move in their lives. I now need some warriors in my corner who will join me in seeking Him for next steps in my journey. I know that there are a lot of you who have already started praying faithfully for me, and I will never have the words to adequately express the depth of my gratitude. So for those already praying or those who are willing to pray, I want to give you some specific areas that you can join me in praying about...

1. I want to be obedient to the Lord's leading no matter what He asks, so please pray that I would not limit what He can do in my own mind or make plans based on how I view things to be.

2. The opportunity to go to Rwanda for several months to a year, may be available sooner than I had originally anticipated. I need prayer that God would open  doors for me to go in HIS timing...no sooner, no later.

3. I will need funding or some sort of salary while I am in Rwanda as I would be leaving my job here to do this. Right now there are a few different options for how to proceed in this area. Please pray that God would make clear the way He wants for me to fund this mission.

4. Although I will be making this decision, I need my dad to have a peace about me being away for that amount of time in Africa. This is very difficult for him, understandly so. I know that it is only through a work of the Spirit that he will be able to release me to do what God is calling me to.

5. Please pray for the current ministry and all its workers, specifically Benjamin. There is so much work to be done and they are in need of more consistent help right now. Please ask God to open doors for some new people, who are willing and ready, to be added to the ministry on a full time basis.

I am so thankful for the family I have in Christ. Your prayers spur me on in this time of waiting and seeking God's will. I appreciate each one of you for reading, praying, and encouraging me along the way! I can't wait to look back at how God has used this time for His glory!!
