One thing this journey to Columbia is teaching me is the importance of trusting God. Trusting that He has a plan and that He has opened these doors for a reason. It's easy to become overwhelmed when you try to make things happen on your own timeline rather than His. This whole packing up and moving to follow God, although amazing, is completely new to me. I am such a planner, and this is HIS plan. He is writing this story. I'm learning to sit back and allow Him to take the lead. After receiving some disappointing news, I decided to spend the rest of the day relaxing. Shortly afterward, someone unexpected reached out to us and met a need that no one even knew about! Then, as He always does go above and beyond, through a friend we met someone in Columbia who is helping us find a place to live!
It's amazing how just a few minutes in prayer changes everything. It changes your attitude towards a situation, and it allows God to be back in the center.We are very thankful for all of the prayers for us right now. Just wanted to tell you guys God is answering them! I know because before we can even ask for prayer about something, He has already supplied the need!
To give an update we are about 25% funded right now! We are so excited and expectant for what's to come. If you have any questions or want more information about joining our Financial Support team, you can contact us through Facebook!
