Nothing will ever triumph against him, for He defeated even death itself. These are very comforting thoughts for me, even amongst all the stresses that I have experienced recently, God has proven Himself supremely faithful.
All my travel has been safe and basically uneventful, through 12 flights and countless bus rides.
Everytime I have spent a weekend somewhere, the weather has been beautiful, although this is not the norm in many of the places I have gone to.
I have several good friends in my program from NC and now some in Wales and all over the world also
And countless other evidences of grace, like being able to use my credit card number (without the physical card) to pay for stuff, thus freeing up the valuable left-over cash I have, or getting to spend Easter Sunday at a Sovereign Grace church.
This trip has given me such a more tangible trust of His provision. I am here alone, outside my comfort zone, in difficult situations, unsure of what to do. Am I going to trust myself, my wits, my decisions, my skills? Or I am going to assess the true situation; that I often am inexperienced, make bad decisions and am unskilled, BUT God is with me. I cannot even imagine the plan He has for me, it is so much more creative and well-planned. He is all-powerful when I can control almost nothing. He is wise when I am confused. He reads the thoughts of all people, all at once, when I can't understand the man speaking spanish next to me.
Now, sitting comfortably in Wales with good friends, I am at peace, and it is easy to trust God. But the next time I am faced with a choice, what will I do? Oh, that I would receive the grace to lay myself in my Creator's arms and believe the One who is Risen.
I received the care package that you all sent. Thank you so much for the kind letters! I really do miss you guys! I return in only 24 days!
How was Resurrection Day? I want to hear some of your stories and what God is doing in your lives.
