It's been difficult, lately, keeping hope about the money coming in for going over. All three of us have struggled with this the past week or so. Over and over,though, God's been reinforcing our need to walk in joy and encouraging us to stand strong, believing in His provision. And here are a few things He's given me to help me:
"go to the people.
live among them.
learn from them.
love them.
start with what they know.
build on what they have.
but of the best leaders,when their tast is done,
the people will remark"we have done it ourselves."-author unknown
"The man who knocks on the door of a brothel is knocking for God." -- G. K. Chesterton
"If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you want to...do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it."~ Willy Wonka
As long as one heart still holds on, then hope is never really gone.
And so, my heart is holding on, to hope, to joy, to the vision that God's placed in the three of us -- a vision that extends deeper and beyond than any of us know.

And let's not forget this one:
"We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting, and the climax and the resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it? It might be time for you to go. It might be time to change, to shine out. I want to repeat one word for you: Leave. Roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful word, isn't it? So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don't worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed."
