Captivated

Dear friends
It has been a while since my last update. The past four months have gone by so fast and it is hard to believe that my time at home is coming to a close very shortly. I am continuing to get ready for this next phase of life overseas. It is so hard to believe that in 1 week, I will be on a plane heading for Southeast Asia to live there for 16 months.

God has been so faithful and honestly I am overwhelmed at all the many ways He has provided for me! My cup is overflowing with His goodness, and faithfulness. I am currently enjoying some much needed family downtime in the north woods of NH. It is 5 below outside, and all I can do is chuckle because very soon I am going to be faced with the extreme opposite for weather conditions.....average temp on the Island is 95 degrees plus humidity! HA!

Throughout all the busyness of getting ready for my Global Internship with Bethany International, I am finding myself more than ever before recognizing my own desparate need for my God. It seems my weaknesses are being highlighted while His love, mercy and strength are yet again proving to be all I could ever need! In my weakness His power is made perfect-amen!

Do you ever ask yourself, "why God did you choose me? Who am I that You would desire to use me as Your vessel?" I can feel His smile upon my heart, as He responds quite simply, "You are my child and I created you for My glory- I delight in you, cherish you and chose to use you for My will and purposes. I rejoice when my children yield and surrender to My perfect plan for them- you are My hands and feet to reach the world."

Blessings to you all!

His,
