Team Nepal update here on the eve of day 2! Its only been two days but it has felt like so much longer! I felt led to write tonight before we head into Principle 3 just to share a bit about how in awe i am of the way God is moving in peoples hearts...
I'm overwhelmed. In like that good, God you are amazing way. Last week was a tough week with three of team Nepal dropping off the team for various reasons. I questioned whether the Lord desired our team to move forward. I prayed earnestly not wanting to move forward without being in-step with Him. He continued to confirm to walk forward in faith in Him. God has already been showing me His goodness... just a few days later.
One of the concerns that came up last week was the finances for the trip. With some people dropping off it made us meeting budget a challenge. God has provided in AMAZING ways! I can't even tell you. Thank you for any of you reading this who have given. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! One supporter/friend said its just the Lords money in such a humble way. I felt completely humbled by her saying that. Wow. Thank you guys and THANK YOU LORD! He truly does deserve all the praise!! Just now i was sitting with student who was a little short in his support, and another athlete came up to him to tell him he was a few hundred over and wanted to try to give it to him. Wow. wow.
Although our team has narrowed down (6 people total) i've been in awe of the vulnerability and realness that we've been experiencing already within our group. Just another sign of God at work! Thank you Jesus!!!
Signing off now to go to Principle #3... but wanting to praise God for an amazing team (thank you jim, josh, jarrod, zac and soon jeremiah) for being on this team, and thank you God for all the amazing supporters and friends who have given for the needs of this team and are praying!!!!! Thank you all!!!
