Ok,
So today we had our third team meeting and Amy talked about our blog being a place where we can leave our memorial of what God is doing. I have been holding back part of my story, not exactly sure why. I thought that after today's meeting that it is now time to share some more of my puzzle.
In September of 2003 I began a journal of all my emotions and feelings about what I was going through after my second miscarriage. During that time of healing through journaling God was leading me to turn my journal into a book. As you can see by the date I had been at it for a LONG time! There have been two occasions in these last six years when I have thought I had my ending to the book.
Most recently, December of 2008 I was sure that all I needed to do was go through and update it and proof read it from when I had it edited and critiqued in 2006.
In December a friend and I made the commitment to set aside some time to do this completion. She had also been putting off her commitment to write on a different topic. We had both agreed to keep one another accountable to our calling.
It was approximately one month after we made this commitment that the Lord made it very clear that I was to come on this Trip to Peru.
The weekend we had set aside was the one after Valentines day in February.
It was in January that I heard the CLEAR calling from God to this trip. Then it was like a flood gate was opened and God was telling me to keep my heart, eyes and ears open to His voice because NOW is the time HE will show me great and mighty things.

Jer 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
It was almost like every time I obeyed Him He showed me something new. First it was committing to write the book, then it was answering the call to the trip, then it was doing a Beth Moore study on the Book of Esther where the focus was, "For Such a Time as This", and most recently it was stepping up to lead the organizing of the VBS for the trip and oh let me just tell you how MIGHTY my GOD is!!! If you don't know, I knew NOTHING about VBS before now. God took nothing and brought it to life! Just like the Earth was without form, and void. I was just like that and He took the Spirit and HE moved and now we have VBS! Zachaeus a wee little man, a sinner just like me who comes to know Jesus in a personal way. Just like I know some wee little children will come to know Jesus on this trip and whole houses! I believe my GOD can and wants to do that! John 3:16 God SO loved the WORLD!

If He can take the formless dark Earth and move the Spirit on it and well, just look outside, So beautiful! He can do all things!
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
...
So there ya go, a few more dots in my puzzle!

When I find my self standing in front of the next challenge I pray I have the courage and strength to say YES again and again and again!
I Love you my Jesus!
I Love you my Jesus!
