Tomorrow.  I can't believe it.  I know many of you have been praying for me and will continue to.  Already, God has shown up in mighty ways.  I was spending some time praying the other day and God directed me to Psalm 48. 

      "When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together, they saw her and were astounded; they fled in terror.  Trembling seized them there, pain like that of a woman in labor." 

I was thinking about all the spiritual battles I may face in Kenya and honestly, they scare me a bit.  But God reminded me through this verse that even if all the forces of evil combined their powers to advance together, that in the face of God, they would tremble in fear.  And if God is on my side, who can be against me?  Then, I had this vision of the Lion King.  There is a scene where young Simba is trying to battle with some hyenas.  He is so ill-equipped that the hyenas mock him to his face.  It is when Simba roars and they hear the voice of his father and see him charging from behind Simba that they tremble in fear and terror.  I was to be like Simba.  I want to stand my ground, but I know that my God is fighting for me.  When the enemy attacks, he will see my Father fighting.

 

I cannot wait to tell you about the mighty ways that God fights on my behalf in the next month.  Thank you to those of you that have made this possible.  Mom and Dad, I am blessed that you have released me to freely chase after the heart of God.  Devon, you are so special.  Thank you for inviting me to walk into great adventure, even when it means not knowing the outcome.  And to those of you who are continuing to hold me up in prayer and finances, I am honored to call you part of my team.

 

Speaking of "team"...here is mine!  They are all great.  All together, there are 15 of us.  14 women...one courageous man.  I'm sure I'll share more about them in the months to come!

 

Thank you for all you've done...
