I'm so amazed at how the Lord always provides for me!  I haven't even really asked for people to donate monetarily towards my trip but yet the Lord is providing the finances that I need to go! It has come in small ways and in big ways but the Lord always provides!! 

A few days ago I talked to one of my professors at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Dr. Keith Eitel.  He reminded me that I am doing the Lord's work!! He was saying that he tells students that they are not asking people to donate money to them, but they are asking people to donate money to God's work!  By asking people to give financially towards what God is doing in Madagascar I am giving them the opportunity to pray! They are also blessed to play an integral part in what the Lord is doing in Madagascar! Praise the Lord for professors who challenge me and remind me who I am serving!!
