Obviously I have never walked on water unless you count lakes in winter in maine. The only one I know of that walked on water was Jesus. Peter began to go to Him but he began to listen to the wind and the waves around him and lost faith. Which voice will we listen to? Will we listen to the world around us or to the voice of the one who made us and calls us? We have been called by God to the mission field in Belize and it looks as it the time frame has been pushed up drastically. It appears that we will be moving down in August of this year! Wow, our minds are racing with all the things that need to get done before that time.
We have recieved much flack from some of our family that think we should not be doing this. I know that it is out of concern for our well being but again, do we listen to what we know God is calling us to or to the voice of fear and concern? Sure there are always risks doing this sort of thing, but we trust in our God. How many others have faced danger and adversity to do what God was calling them to? Why should we be any different than they? I hope that some day they realize that we are just trying to serve our Lord and master! To any of you who are reading this blog, please do not tell our family yet that we are leaving in August as we have not had a chance to tell all of them yet and please pray for us that we raise all the funds in that time that we need.
Wowie, August?! Hooray for you! Boo for us! :o)
ReplyDeleteHow very exciting! I'm sure there's much to do and prepare...
Funny how family (and I can say this and honestly not have a clue WHICH family you are referring to...and care less, really...) assumes that per chance they may know the very specific will of God for you both. We humans have a way of judging one another's choices; which is really quite sad as often our own flesh and blood can discourage us from doing His will...
Anyway, I'll jump off my soap-box now. :o) I love you guys and am awful excited to hear how God works! Oh, and if anyone asks..."I know nothing." :o)
