What are the tears for Lord???

So I had to add this little note. Today I received an e-mail personally attacking me in a way. As I pondered this attack, I knew I was doing the right thing by taking my leap of faith into ministry. Then I read the blog I wrote before about packing, thought about Thursday and the following 5 months...and I started to tear up. I have so many emotions going through me right now. What are these tears for Lord? Am I sad? Am I happy? What's going on? And I realized that I'm a little bit of everything. I'm mostly overwhelmed at the goodness of God. What an amazing God we serve! I am so blessed to be able to be trusted with this kind of work. I don't deserve what God has given me, and what He will be giving me in the future. I am so blessed to have the family and friends that I have. Thank you, thank you, thank you! What an honor. Lord, thank you for Your goodness and mercies that are new every morning! Great is Your faithfulness! You are my Rock and my Salvation...whom will I fear??!!

That's it. :`)

Getting Packed...

Today is Sunday the 28th, and I officially leave on Thursday morning for a long drive to Dallas, TX. I'm almost completely done packing the house, and have only a few bags to take with me on my journey. Journey. That's for sure. What a journey this has been, especially the last 4 years. But isn't God good that He never gives up on us...never leaves us or forsakes us. With all the complaining we do, with all the stalling of His will we do...He NEVER gives up! Praise the Lord! (PTL).

As I spoke in church this morning about what I will be doing for the next five months, I had a continued peace about what I'm doing. I'm so thankful for everyone who surrounds me in prayer and support. I'm thankful that my Father in Heaven hasn't forgotten about me on this journey, but He has been there every step of the way, guiding me when I veer off one way or the other.

With all my love and thankfulness!
