It's Been Two Years
Every day, my Facebook brings up memories of things that happened on this day in years past. So it reminded me that today marks two years since I came home from my first mission trip to Ireland. It's surprising to see how long the time has passed, especially when I was so sure I would be doing back sooner than this.
So today marks two years. Two years of thinking about this place every day. Two years of praying for the opportunity to go back. Two years of being burdened for these people. Two years of missing part of my heart. Two years of waiting for God to fulfill His promises.
Sometimes waiting is hard, but I believe that God has perfect timing and that does not line up with my ideal timing. I know that God has appointed me for such a time as this and I ask that you continue to pray for me in this journey. My goal is to be in Ireland by the beginning of the new year, but that means that I need to have at least 60% of my total budget raised or pledged by the beginning of October. They say nothing is impossible with God, so it's time to be bold and pray for big things.
