Trust

I have loved getting to be home for a few days. I got to see both of my nephews, Parker and Camden, who have both grown and changed so much! I have loved getting to spend time with my parents and my sisters, even if it is a small amount of time. It has been good to visit with my gram also and see my aunts and cousins! God has been so gracious to allow me time with my family these few days I am home.

Preparing for Japan has been such an experience for me and still is an experience. God is really teaching me about trusting Him, completely. I found myself today praying that I needed God to help me to believe what I was praying for, and trust that He can do so much more than I could ever ask or imagine. I am so thankful that God is always faithful, He has showed me little glimpses of His faithfullness all throughout this semester in preparing for Japan.

The other day I was in need of encouragement, I spent time that night just really pouring out my heart to God on different things going on, and the next morning I woke up with an email from a girl at school that I have never met. Her email said that she prayed for me, she prayed for my smile, my words and my actions, for any troubles I was facing, she prayed God's strength and peace over me. My jaw just dropped to the floor. It was from someone I have never met before and God really encouraged me through this girls' email. I praise God for being Faithful and that His blessings are far greater than anything I could have ever imagined. God heard my plea for help and He encouraged.

The time is drawing near, and satan is usuing anything he can think of to attack me. But my God is so much bigger than that!

Please be praying for...

• The flights over to Japan. All of us interns are leaving within the next 3 or 4 days. I leave Friday morning.


• The jet lag- that I can handle it well. Usually the first few days are difficult.


• The missionaries as they prepare for our arrival


• The Japanese people. Pray for curiousness about the One true God, pray for God to break the strongholds in their lives. Pray for soft hearts. Pray for God to bind the enemy.
