How do you formulate the words?

Wow, wow, wow! The last two days, I've been on my knees before the Lord.
Yesterday we had a half day of prayer with all the UWM staff and some of the missionaries. There were probably about 30 of us and we stood in this big circle singing praise songs, worshipping together. As soon as we started singing, I looked around the room and I wanted to cry. I wanted to cry because I felt so humbled and honored to be in the presence of such amazing people. People who have sacrificed their lives, their homes, their families, to go and live in a country not their own and share the gospel. I wanted to fall on my knees right there and say, "Lord you are an awesome God!"

After we did some worship, we had a half hour of alone time in prayer. I went back to my room and prayed outloud. I put my hands up in the air and said, "Lord, here it is, here's everything, I'm all yours, I'm having faith in you, that you Lord, are working and will bring me to England in your timeing."
I've had this huge prayer for the last weeks about when I would be in England. The doors have been opening for me to be there now, but of course the money isn't all here, but the doors keep opening in England. I knew God was doing something, but I just didn't know what.
This morning we had a conference call with those in the UK and here at UWM. Everyone was in agreement that the Lord is leading for me to leave now.
So with all that said...I leave to England in three weeks!
I know completely crazy!

I don't have all my support raised, but somehow in the next three weeks, I am confident that the Lord is going to provide. And I am confident that while I'm in England, He is going to provide. I will be in England for 6 months because there is a present need for me to be there now, but if in 6 months I don't have 100% then I have to come back and I won't be able to return until I have raised it all.

Crazy, this is all crazy!

But then again, what can I say? God never works in conventional ways in my life. If he did I wouldn't have to have faith.

There is a reason why my blog is entitled "Life on the C-List... is always an adventure."

Now you know.
