2 Kings 4:1-7

¹Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and
you know that your servant feared the LORD, but the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves." ²And Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me; what have you in the house?" And she said, "Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil." ³Then he said, "Go outside, borrow vessels from all your neighbors, empty vessels and not too few. ⁴Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these vessels. And when one is full, set it aside." ⁵So she went from him and shut the door behind herself and her sons. And as she poured they brought the vessels to her. ⁶When the vessels were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not another." Then the oil stopped flowing. ⁷She came and told the man of God, and he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on the rest."


As I prepare for my trip, I'm reminded of the necessity of trusting God with ALL things required for my journey. God has promised to supply my need, and as support comes in I am overwhelmed at how much and how fast things come together.
I feel that God has something incredible for me this summer as I see support coming together and as I hear encouragement from people on a daily basis.

To God be the Glory!

WOW

God is good, I just have to say :)

My support raising is over the halfway point!!

SDG!

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trusting in God to provide has been a humbling experience, yet one that I am confident He will come through and provide. Today was one of those days.
As I thought on all that I felt God has called me to do, I got overwhelmed with a variety of fears and frustrations.
THEN.........................................
I was reminded to check my online account to see how my support raising fared.
I'm grateful to report that God has brought me past the half way point in my fundraising!


Sola Deo Gloria!






"Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
   and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
   and he will make straight your paths."

Preparations for my summer abroad

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21

Each day my excitement is growing for my summer in Russia. I think on how God has opened doors for me to go, and know that He has something wonderful for me this summer. Now, what that is...I can't say right off the bat. But, trusting our great God is a joy, especially knowing the truth of this verse. He is able to do FAR more than we expect or think!

I anticipate his blessings as I anticipate this trip.

My support raising is going well. I'm over a quarter of the way to my goal of $4000. Anyone wanting to support me as I venture abroad is welcome to go to www.teachoverseas.org/contribute ; the instructions there are straight forward about contributing.

As the time draws near, I'll be sharing more and more of my preparations, thoughts, fears, and prayers.

Please keep me in your prayers as I prepare to go.

God Bless!
