The Puzzle

     I have taken the week off to focus on prayer and not on fundraising. I have discovered that there is a thin line when it comes to money.  I learned that a long time ago, but I never really considered fundraising to search God was part of money in general.  I have to fundraise to go serve in Bolivia.  I have to tell others what my needs are.  That is just how the world works.  Here is were the line can get blurred.  I have to leave it to the Holy Spirit to move others to want to give.  To want to be a part of God's mission.  To want to send me to be the vessel to serve.  I have no control, so there is no point in feeling desperate or anxious. 
     This week God has shown me everyday how much He loves me.  He wants me succeed.  I need to see it from His perspective.  He is in the process of lining things up in such a perfect way.  In a way that on my own would not be so neat and beautiful.  I cannot see the big picture, but I do see pieces of the puzzle.  I do trust in my Lord to put this puzzle together.  I am a child allowing Him to guide my hands in putting the puzzle together.  In doing this, I am giving Him control, control that was never mine to take, and releasing myself from the pressure.  Please pray for me in a way that God leads your heart.
