lets hope it's true

It is said

"where there is faith, there is doubt" St. Augustine (i think)

So, I am about to take the biggest step of faith ever and I am experiencing the most doubt, ever.

One thing I do not doubt is who I am journeying with on this walk of faith. Mark is my rock and strength. I cannot imagine my life with out him. So in my struggle to trust in God and God alone I look to the one who inspires me every day with his faith and conviction and strength.

girl I can not even begin to tell you how hard it was for me to let God take control and completly let go when I came here. It seemed that I had all of these what if's and so forth in my mind. Then there came a day and I decide I could not keep going on like that and I let go of that string (which were all of my comforts) And when letting go of that I can not express the peace that God washed over me and my faith grew leaps and bounds. Although I am still learning daily how to grow in my faith and let go and let God...........I love you and we can not wait till you are here working here with us in this country we all love so much!

awwwww miss lori...how well i remember these days when you knew that you knew that God was leading and that almost as loudly as you heard your heart saying to take the leap, you heard another voice pounding doubt in your head about a thousand things...

hear me say, that those of us who love you and mark will pray you through the moments when you're absolutely certain that you did the right thing once you get here, and the moments when you think, "what the heck have I done to myself" moments, and there will be BOTH!!!

i can promise you without one seconds doubt however that you will not REGRET the miles you walk with these sweet people or the way you make your heart at home right here among them. there will be moments, oh Heaven knows there will be moments when it is hard and hurts all the way to your bone marrow...but every ounce of the struggle and the sacrifice will be worth it.

this week i can say that and mean it with every ounce of my heart. God is good!!

this country will be better because you are choosing to make your heart at home here.

embrace the journey...the moments that feel faith filled like you'd leap from the tallest building and the ones that you feel so small and scared, they all serve such divine purposes and God is so near you in this.

we love ya!!
