Thursday afternoon I leave for Cameroon. I will be there for a little over two weeks. I will work with pastors, a group of parents, some men who are training to be pastors, and I will speak at a launch of a media ministry’s missions event – that last one is on the radio.
I have been sick with the flu for the past week. So I am really behind getting ready for this trip. I was going to have the material printed there but it was going to be too expensive, so I am printing 200 booklets here. Problem. Not sure how I am going to get them there.
I have been all day trying to get caught up and ready to go. I am making lists to keep from forgetting something. Probably will.
Woke up this morning at 0300, grabbed my phone, started planning…
A few minutes ago I was obsessing about something and the Lord called forth Lazurus like Philippians 4:6 -7 (here @ Bible Gateway) out of the darkened tomb of my Scripture memory. I had to confess, anxious. Troubled. Worried.
He is in control. Regardless of the cost overruns. Regardless of the logistic challenges. He is in control. Nothing that is happening is news to Him. I just need to pray and stop being anxious.
That is really easy to write in a blog. Not so easy to actually live.

Remembering you in prayer.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteWhew - truly said; God's promises are (relatively, at least) easy to read, sing, quote, talk about, etc. It's living them that it a challenge! And I find that NOT being anxious, troubled, worried. Somehow these emotions just won't go away.
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you His strength, wisdom - and peace. And that the Lord will work through you as only HE can, to His glory and the profit of many.
