As many of you know, I came here with the expectation that God would show me if ministries like this are what He has prepared for me.  In January when John came to Bethany to share, I was struck by the practicality of their ministries and the devotion of all their workers to their dream.  Since coming here, those initial reactions have been reinforced as I have gotten to know each of the staff better.

I am still praying for God's direction as to my future, but I am also enjoying each moment of watching the impact that these devoted workers are having on the children and families involved in their ministries.  I haven't had as much of a pull at my heart for this organization yet, but I expect that it will start when I go home.  Everyone here is so kind and transparent with each other.  Both John & Jam and Gabby & Jizza have expressed a wish that I could come back for their weddings, even though I have just met them.  They are all so kind and caring and always there for each other.  I am feeling more like a part of the team each day, but still praying for God's direction and guidance.  

I will leave you with the verse I read this morning that was an encouragement to me in my quest while here.  
"The secret things belong of the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law."  ~ Deut 29:29

May this be an encouragement if you too are fretting about your future.  Know that God has revealed to you what you need to know for now and he will provide the rest of the information when you are ready for it.
