The hardest part for me in my walk with God is discerning his will and timing and my own flesh. For years now, I have had the desire to serve the Lord overseas in some sort of missions capacity. But my husband did not. Then four years ago, he went on a short term trip to Haiti, and it changed his entire perspective. Since that time, we've had our training, and even a job that will give us some financial stability while in India working for The Lord. But it's been four months now, and our home is yet to sell so we can leave. At what point do we throw in the towel? At what point do we say, "This must not be the right timing for us to go." Or do we stay steadfast holding on to His promise? But couldn't Sarah say that same thing? Couldn't she justify her giving her bond servant to Abraham by saying she was holding on to God's promise that they would have a baby............and since she was barren and all.....................
So we walk that line. For now, we are waiting for our Isaac; all the while watching and praying not to create an Ishmael.

It is a line that all of us walk. If only I knew for sure.... is something I find myself saying constantly. I don't have the answer for you... well I do but it's a self-serving "stay here" :)
I love you, friend and will continue to pray for you and stand by your side whether you're here or in India.
thanks April. I know you're right. It's a line everyone walks. But it doesn't feel like that at the moment..............
When you were only four yers old we knew you had the heart of a missionary. We even called you our little missionary. Wait upon the Lord and never give up, and He will be faithful. We love you.
