God Has Been Working in my Life

It has been right at a week since I wrote last and I'm sorry about that. I've been pretty busy with life and work. I had to go in early on some days for work and then just my normal routine in with that makes things busy once in awhile. I will try to do some poems this week although I have interesting things planned for this week but again it will be busy so we'll see if I get chances to write or not. God has given me to amazing chances this week. I shouldn't say chances but answers to prayers but now I have to still keep praying because one of them I don't know what to do. The first answer to prayer came to me Friday morning at 1:00. It was that I could have a week mission trip paid for to Guatemala through this mission project this summer by a couple I never have met. How it came about was I was talking to a lady that ran a children's home in MO where I went to college at and I went to the home maybe once while in college but my friends went a lot more. She got talking to some of her friends who went on the same mission trip last summer and loved it and they are willing to paid in full for me to go. The mission project is at another orphanage and a couple from Branson, MO are working for it. They were another one of this lady's friends. It is called "1:27 Missions Project". It is based off of the verse, James 1:27. A new mission project, a new city in Guatemala, and a new and different orphanage to see and learn. I would have to give up my other mission trip that I usually take in the summer because they might be the same week but we'll see. Maybe God can do something like change the days. That would be amazing. This chance reminds me of a Mexico chance I had in college. I was going to go by myself and then some friends and I got a group together and the college paid for most of it. Then the other answer to prayer is that I get to use my apartment for hosting a cooking party for the internationals around me. I've always wanted to open my home to people. I love hosting things and having people over and I never thought I could because my apartment is a one bedroom so it is little but not little enough for God to do things in it. I could learn how to make an Indian desert dish which would be fun. I haven't planned a date for it yet but hopefully it could be this month sometime. God has really been working in my life and it is amazing to see not just through the children I work with but through my personal life as well. I'm dinfantly growing in Him if I can see these things and can keep growing if I do them. God is not only growing me but is reassuing me of things too espically this week. That everything will be okay and will work out for the Glory of Him. Strange how you can see a friend's dream come true and some of my prayers have been answered all in the same week. Chance I think not, God for real! :) He has been pushing me with the friend's dream since the friend started everything.  That's a whole other story to share maybe some day. God does answer prayers even if it takes a little while. He will never let us down. We might not know the way to go or what to do to make it happen but God does and He will show us the way if we trust in Him.
