It's coming!

It is getting close to the time when I will be leaving for The Amazon in Brazil for my missions trip. Last year I went for the first time. From the moment we returned I couldn't wait to go again. It was such an amazing experience. I understand why every Christian should go on at least one mission trip in their life.
God used that trip in my life to change me. He worked in my life while I was working to help the villagers we met.
I am so addicted! I would love to go every year. In order to do that I have to completely overhaul my finances. That is an area of my life that I have not given completely to the Lord yet. I am such a mess in the money department. I am working on it. I am getting better. I have stopped worrying about money. I know god meets all my needs. I keep getting tested. I'm doing what I should and that is, nothing. I am letting God be in control. Since doing that, things are getting so much better. I used to worry, and freak out about the bills. On paper everything should have been fine, but in real life it never was. Now paper and real life are getting a little closer together.
I think that is one of the best lessons I learned from last years trip and this years trip, to depend on God, to let Him take control.
I had a plan last year about how to go again this year. It never happened. In fact I am still nearly $2000 short of the money I need for the trip. God wants me to learn that He is the God of the universe. He is in control. He will provide what I need. So here I am learning that lesson.
I look forward to blogging al about our experiences in Brazil. Posting tons of pictures for y'all to see and telling you about How mighty is Our God!
