God+You+Me are Pieces of the Puzzle, working together, to share the Good News with others!

Matt. 28:19&20~"Go, make disciples of ALL the nations ~ teach them to obey all the commands I have given..."


Our response to His command can be only one of 3: to Go, to Send Others, or to Disobey. (John Piper)

In the spring of 2010, I spent 7 weeks in Oaxaca, Mexico, as a volunteer teacher at a school for children of missionaries. God opened the door for me to return for the 2010-2011 school year.

If you click on posts from January - March of 2010, you'll see posts on the lessons I'm learning on patience & vision.

Posts from April 2010 - June of 2011, are about daily life in Oaxaca,

God IS Moving!!

It's A God-Thing!!!
I got back home on June 5th from 7 weeks volunteering in Oaxaca, Mexico.  In the 12 weeks since then, I have been moving closer & closer towards returning to Oaxaca to teach the children of missionaries for 10 months.
During this process, it has been SO clear to me (& others) that God IS Moving!!!  Sometimes, there is NO OTHER explanation for something other than "It's A God-Thing!" 

There have been many times that I've been updating someone about how the planning for this trip is going & I've ended up saying, "All I can say is ~ It's A God-Thing!"

*  For example ~ I was told that raising enough financial support to cover the expenses of a 10-month mission trip to Mexico could take about a year.  I was also told that it was a REALLY aggressive goal to raise that amount of support during just the 10 weeks of summer!  But, GOD IS MOVING folks!  As of August 11, I had 100% of my monthly support raised to cover the ministry expenses of my trip!!!  I still need some one-time gifts to come in, but I'm not worried, because I know that what has already been accomplished is A God Thing!!!  

*  For example ~ I was overwhelmed & putting off making some big financial decisions about my cell phone, my health insurance, & my car insurance...(I needed to decide whether to drop them or keep them, since I was going to be away for 10 months!)  There were so MANY concerns I had, questions I needed answered, & things that could possibly go wrong when I called these places.  BUT, God IS MOVING folks!  This past week, all 3 of these issues were figured out!  I walked in God's favor with every customer service person I spoke with & ended up getting deals that were even better than what I had hoped for!  It was most definitely A God Thing!!!

So...how about you? 
*  Can you look at your life & see that God Is Moving? 
*  Are there situations that you look at & realize It's A God Thing? 
If so ~ tell someone about it!  Encourage someone by testifying of God's goodnes!  (feel free to post your comments here!)  :)
