A time of want/need has come upon me as my deadlines for raising funds became clearer. As I walk along the path God is giving me, I have sensed a deep level of content and trust--like being lead by still waters with an abundance of food surrounding me. God's given me peace instead of anxiety and trust instead of fear! What a blessing!
I've come to trust that either God will provide in order to meet the deadlines of 80% by April 1 and 100% by June, or He'll provide in a different time line and I'll go to Bulgaria later than August. Either way, He's guiding me and I can trust Him! It's amazing to consider how I've studied rest for the last two years and have an opportunity to find it in the midst of what could be a clash of expectations and reality. My rest isn't in the circumstances, but in the Good Shepherd. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life!
