WHY?

WHY?
Why have I believed Satan's lie that there is nothing "little me" can do within
the hugeness of Kingdom work?
Why have I accepted the comforts and blessings that I have been given for my own use?
Why have I believed the lie that what God wants of me is to follow "the rules"?
Why do I lack the faith to surrender to Him?

These are just a few of the questions I am working through.
On one hand I am saddened that I waited to this late stage in my life. 
But, on the other hand I am elated to still have life to work through these questions. 
I understand this will be a difficult but amazing adventure. 
Change will take place -- as it surely must.

I am working towards surrender. 
I now believe there are important things I can do within the hugeness of His Kingdom work. 
I am rejecting the belief that I am ok as long as I control my behavior and move within the guidelines.  I am ready to learn how to use my blessings to benefit those in need. 
I am growing towards surrender.

On June 25th I, along with my niece Allison, will join an amazing group of believers who
desire to make a difference in the lives of God's precious children in Uganda and Kenya. 
We will work with nine different ministries/orphanages in these countries.
 
We are praying to make a difference, to share the love of Christ with every precious soul
we meet, to allow God to break us and teach us what we need to learn to serve Him
more fully.

Please join us in this prayer.
