4 days!

هُوَ ضَمَانُ أَزْمَانِكَ وَوَفْرَةُ خَلاَصٍ وَحِكْمَةٍ وَمَعْرِفَةٍ، وَتَكُونُ مَخَافَةُ الرَّبِّ كَنْزَهُ.

and He will be the stability of your times,
abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge;
the fear of the L-RD is Zion’s treasure.
Isaiah 33:6


I've been reading an awesome book by Frances J Roberts called "Come Away My Beloved." This morning's devotion was so encouraging. Here is a bit:

Tarry not for an opportunity to have more time to be alone with Me. Take it, though you leave tasks at hand. Nothing will suffer. Things are of less importance than you think. Our time together is like a garden full of flowers, whereas the time you give to things is as a field full of stubble.

It was such a great reminder to me to enjoy the L-rd's presence NOW. I have lists of things to do and people to spend time with. I need to run errands and start packing and practice my Arabic and figure out my luggage. I sat on the couch this morning with my mom, running through all the things I have going on the next 4 days. The Lord quietly reminded me that His list is the only important one. If I run out of socks, or have to pay extra for heavy luggage, or forget my toothpaste...He will still be glorified.


Pray for me as I logistically begin to prepare for my departure on Wednesday. I want to soak up the time with my family and the people I love. Pray that the L-rd would give me rest and energy and that He would multiply my time. Also be praying for the teams that are already there, both permanently and short-term. The L-rd is moving and I cannot wait to be a part of it!
