Look at the nations and watch—and be
utterly amazed. For
I am going to do something in your day that you would not believe, even if you were told. Habakkuk
1:5
Every time I read the words written above I
am filled with wonder and curiosity. In
this passage we see the Prophet Habakkuk talking with the Lord and questioning
the Lord about the state of His people Israel.
Habakkuk seems to be in a state of despair as he calls out for
help. How long will the Lord allow such
injustice to prosper? The Lord does not
get angry at Habakkuk for his questions, but simply tells him to wait and to
watch. The Lord will do something in his
day that is simply unbelievable. What a
wonderful picture of our daily walk with the Lord. We call out for help and the Lord doesn’t say
‘Oh here let me help’ but simply reminds us to just be patient because He
already has it under control.
For many years I have been following the
struggles that children living in poverty face.
I am by no means an expert in this situation but I do understand that
these children need our love and prayers and feel compelled to help them. This call to action mixed with my church’s
desire to help orphans have led me to take a mission trip to Ethiopia next
October.
In order to take this trip I need your
help. First and foremost I need your
prayer. I would not feel confident in my
ability to take this trip if I do not have people here praying for me and the
organization with whom I will be working.
I also need support financially. As
a fundraiser for this trip, I am making and selling Lavender Sugar Scrub. I am selling these for $12 each, however
feel free to give more if you want to! If you would like to
order some sugar scrub you can contact me through facebook or by emailing me at
noel_06@hotmail.com. All of the money will go to offset the cost
of the trip. Currently, I have 22% of
the funding that I need. I fully trust
that God will help me raise the remaining 78%.
As I prepare for this trip, I am preparing
myself to be completely and utterly amazed at the work that God is going to do
in Ethiopia while I am there. Thank you
times a million to all of my friends and family who continue to support me
while I go wherever God leads me!
