It's Tori. It's May. It's 9 days away.
I'm busy. I'm excited. I'm happy. I'm sad. I'm overwhelmed. I'm filled with peace. I'm spinning in circles. I'm laser focused. I'm making lists. I'm losing lists. I'm in awe. I'm humbled. I'm shepherding. I'm failing. I'm clinging to new mercies. I'm crying. I'm laughing. I'm loving. I'm packing. I'm driving. I'm meeting. I'm sorting. I'm repacking. I'm counting. I'm calling. I'm emailing. I'm not calling back. I'm forgetting to email back. I'm hoping. I'm praying. I'm wondering. I'm resting. I'm depending.
I'm nothing without HIM. I can do nothing without HIM.
He's my God. He Himself is my peace. His is the way-maker. He is my comfort. He is my strength. He is preparing hearts. He is calling people to Himself. He is worthy of my obedience. He is our Father. He is our provider. He is my Savior. He is the God of order. He is my joy. He bears my burdens. He makes our path straight. He leads me. He is healer. He is the true Shepherd. He is my sheild. He is my deliverer. He is my righteousness. He is my God and King.
I have so many "posts" written in my head, but no time to actually post them to the blog. As I shared this with a friend the other day, she said, "Just Post Something!" She wanted to know what was going on...what daily life is like right now, how preparations are going...etc...So here is my feeble attempt at "Just Posting Something!"
We are in the last week of school. We will move out this week. We have much to do and want to enjoy every single moment as we do it. Cherishing & looking ahead with eager anticipation of what we will see God doing first hand in the hearts & lives of His people in Namibia.
So much certainty & so much unknown. It's stretching each of us.
What we do know and are confident of is this: that he who began a good work in us (and those we are going to) will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6)
He's not leaving. Not Forsaking. Not abandoning. No... He is with us. His presence. His peace. Grace. Mercy. It's His work and He will continue it, and complete it.
Praise God it's not up to me. Praise God it's not up to us. I surrender. Walking in Blind obedience (I have a whole post on this coming one day)...Faith...may it please Him. (Hebrews 11:6)
