From February 28, 2011
There is so much going on right now in my life & in the lives of people I care about ~ things that require me to be prayerful and to walk in faith! But, that is just part of life, right? We all have things we’re going through…
Today, I came across a quote I really like, by Ralph Waldo Emerson. He said, “All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.”
In my life, this is so true! God has been so faithful in the past! When I focus on how He miraculously provided in the Bible stories I know & in the lives of other Christians & in my own life…then, I am able to hold confidently onto the promise that He has not brought me this far to leave me, but He will make a way, where there seems to be no way!
Here are 2 other verses about faith that I’ve been thinking on. I hope you’ll read them & think about how they can apply to your life, & be encouraged:
* “Faith is being sure of what we hope for. It is being certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1
* “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6
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, including pictures of the food, the people, & the most memorable moments of my experience.
