Tonight I have had on my heart some scripture that I felt compelled to get out of bed and share with you beginning with - Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see...I was thinking of how much this applies to everything I do and everything I hope for. I have never really been a teacher but as it goes God always will call us to do something that we may not feel we have the ability to do but I can also see how he has brought to me women's bible studies in a way that is helping me to prepare for my mission in Sudan. An amazing study from DBC" The Titus Two Woman" and "The Remarkable Women of the Bible" my hope and goal is to take these studies to Sudan to help the women there learn Gods will for their lives and the importance of who they are in Christ. If only all women including myself could grasp who we are in Christ that we would not give ourselves away easily or feel insecure, that we would find our security in Christ.... that we would comprehend our inheritance with him.
Psalm 16:1-2 Keep me safe O God for in you I take refuge. I said to the Lord "You are my Lord apart from you I have no good thing"
Psalm 16:5-6Lord you have assigned me my portion and my cup you have made my lot secure The boundary lines have fallen for me in sweet places surely I have a beautiful inheritance.

My hope for Sudan: To make disciples that will go on to teach long after I am gone. This past Sunday we talked about the lessons we have learned from "Eve" that although we do not walk with God in the Garden of Eden we still have the same privilege she did of walking with God everyday, that we do have life to give not just to children but to the people we care for and encourage and through the sharing of our spiritual life. The world would not be the same without women God said himself in Gen. 1:27 he created man in the image of God ,male and female he created them. Gen. 1-31 God saw all that he had made and it was "very good" Eve was God's last and most beautiful creation and every woman after her shares in that inheritance and although at times our heart and flesh may fail the Lord is our portion and we are his. So now just 47 or so days out from heading to Sudan the joy in my heart overflows and I am grateful to go. I know there will be challenges physically and spiritually but I go with faith in God's ability not my own. Please continue to pray for me. And thank you for being my outlet to ramble all my thoughts.
