Please Fasten Your Seatbelt

There is no other way to start this post … We are 100% funded for our 3-year term of service with VidaNet in Costa Rica!  Last evening, we received an email from a church partner indicating their gift amount and suddenly we realized, the “when God” has become “now my child”!  In many ways, I feel like this picture … We are perched on top of this steep mountain, full of anticipation and excitement, a bit fearful with a racing heart, we want to race down the mountain side but don’t quite know how we’ll land … deep breath … Be still and know that I am God … I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, leaning on The Everlasting Arms … please fasten your seatbelt and prepare for take-off!

Lessons from Daniel
Three different times, 3 different locations, the last 3 days, God has taken me to the book of Daniel!  Speak Lord, I am listening …
Daniel chose obedience to the voice of God.  “God, help me see myself as You see me, quiet my heart to hear your voice.”
Daniel, in a foreign land, surrounded by foreign gods, maintained his integrity.  How? He prayed to God, gave thanks and asked for help.
Daniel trusted, committed and waited on God.
“Father, at this moment I turn to You for strength in my weakness, energy for my weariness, and faith in my doubt.”
