Everything is Coming Together

Last post, I had no idea what God wanted me to do in Zambia. I asked for your prayers, that God would provide me with something to do while in Zambia. Prayers were answered!

I will be working with an orphanage called Family Legacy doing a program called Dream Camp. (Click the link to check them out.)

This program runs from December 26th - January 4th, so my dates are changing slightly. I will purchase my plane ticket this week, researching the best dates for the best prices, this is beyond exciting. I can not thank you all enough for your prayers. Please continue to pray that I find a great ticket price and dates that work for me. I know it's all going to work out just as the Lord has planned.

In other news, I was in my first wedding this weekend. My friend Meredith married a great man, Todd. They are a lovely couple and I enjoy them both. I almost made it through the ceremony with out crying, wait...who am I kidding? I cried when I got to read a bible verse to their guests. I started thinking about how honored I was to be speaking God's truth to them, how true this verse was to Todd and Mere's lives and how he has brought them together, specifically for each other. It all came crashing into my head and my emotions gave way, but I'm told it was endearing, so I guess I didn't do too bad.

Psalm 40:1-3


I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,
    and he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair,    out of the mud and the mire. 
He set my feet on solid ground
    and steadied me as I walked along. 
He has given me a new song to sing,    a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
    They will put their trust in the Lord.

That's all for now, pray that I find the plane ticket God has reserved for me. We can also start praying, if you haven't already, for the people I will come in contact with on my 30+ hour journey there and back, and those I will interact with while I am in Zambia. Pray that I will listen when the Lord gives me an opportunity to speak about His love.
