Honduras

It is so amazing to see God working in our lives. I have been praying and even worrying (I shouldn't have been worrying though) about raising enough money for my Honduras Mission trip over spring break (we are leaving next Friday!). I had been several hundred dollars short, but I found out tonight that I received several generous donations and am now over the amount required to go on the trip, and will be able to help fund some of the houses that we are building too. As I was attempting to raise money, I should have realized that God had his hand on the entire process.

I say that I trust in God all of the time, but do I really if I am constantly worrying about things ahead of me? God has never let me down, and always knows what is best for me even when I don't initially see his plan, so why do I worry? This is something that I am currently trying as best I can to work on, because I am a big worrier this is not an easy task, but at the same time I am trying as best I can. The only way that I know how to try to better myself is through building a better relationship with God, and also the people that he has placed in my life. I am glad that I serve a God that doesn't require us to be perfect, but a God who wants us to simply try.

As our group is about to leave for Honduras we have been challenged to consciously spend time in prayer just for our group, to get focused and be the best minsters than we possibly can. As we embark on this missionary opportunity I ask that you please start to pray for our trip, to let us be able to have an impact on the peoples lives that we are coming into contact with.

"So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” - John 13: 34-35
