fresh start

Everyday is busy with support raising. In preparing to meet with people and share the ministry goals of my going to Uganda, I struggle in keeping under God’s guidance with the right words to say and the right management of my time. As I shared in my Holiday newsletter, I am consistently convicted of how I spend my time and prioritize activities in my life. Yet, even in conveying the need for support (in a 30+ hr work week of answering emails, meeting/praying with people), I want to reflect grace and the light of God, the need for that light in Ugandans lives . . . an urgent prayer request for those of you who have committed to praying during this time of pre-field support raising, is this:
*that I would continue to “watch my step” in managing my time for support raising, fellowship, and rest (solitude and silence)
*that my heart would not forget how I am made complete in God
*that in maintaining percentages of the support process, i would be encouraged instead of discouraged – seeing the glass half full instead of half empty

God made my life complete
when I placed all the pieces before him.
When I cleaned up my act,
he gave me a fresh start.
Indeed, I’ve kept alert to God’s ways;
I haven’t taken God for granted.
Every day I review the ways he works,
I try not to miss a trick.
I feel put back together,
and I’m watching my step.
God rewrote the text of my life
when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.
2 Samuel 22:21-25 The Message

 

Lots of love from Durham! -Rach
