Live By Faith

"Following God is choosing to live by faith, not by proof." This was something that our speaker this week, Morgan Perry, shared with us in her journey of choosing to following the Lord. Interesting how she said that, and now here I am... with the choice - Do I follow by faith? Or follow by proof? Following by proof is a sensible decision to the world, but my heart pulls towards faith more than anything else.
We are suppose to leave for India Thursday morning. Half of our team is for sure leaving then, and the other half that I am in might have to leave at a later date. Because of the complications of our visas processing, we have yet to have them mailed back. They are suppose to be here on Wednesday in order for us to leave Thursday, but the chances of that are slim. The chances of having them approved are higher - but still not definite. This honestly couldn't come at a worse time, but I have to choose to have faith in this situation. I know that the Lord is not worried, and He's not in a hurry... therefor because I put my faith and trust in Him - this shall also be the attitude I carry. I am pretty stressed out right now, so along with that comes feeling sick when I am eating. I am praying for favor and grace, and just that the Lord would strengthen me.
Missing home is a feeling that keeps increasing, especially when things aren't running smoothly. So that on top of everything is a little crazy. But thankfully the Lord has given me amazing brothers and sisters here to encourage me and build me up in times of need.
So, I will keep you guys updated. Please be praying that we all get approved for our Visas, and that they are all sent soon!! If things do not turn out like that, we will come up with a Plan B on a missions trip - but I am praying that we get to India.
Thank you so much for your support financially and in prayer & intercession... it has carried me a long way and still continues to!
