I've been working at Hanjin Shipping for the last couple of months. I've been working to save up for Tanzania. Well...this friday is my last day! Bwana Asi Fiwe Sana Sana Sana!!! (Praise the Lord very very much)
It was a difficult job at times but when I reflect on how God provided me with this opportunity, I am truly amazed. I interviewed on the Thursday of the week that I got back from my 2month trip and started the following Monday. God's provided me with an opportunity to work since the week after I returned. Now, I would have liked it so much better if money just fell out of the sky or some mysteriously millionaire knocked at my door...but reflecting back, I can testify that God has been paving the way for me and Africa.
God challenged me in tanzania with the passage from Matthew, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33) I believe he was challenging me to have faith and to seek after His will first. Then he will provide and make the way. God's demonstrated His faithfulness through this job, through GCC, through my parents and family, and through so many of my generous friends. Things might not be all together in terms of finances or planning, but truly God is being gracious to His unbelieving servant.
It's still a daily, moment to moment wrestling match, against my anxiety, fear, temptation, etc. But I'm praying through these things and am set to go. I will bear witness to what God will do and I don't want to miss out on a single thing... not because of fear, not because of the flesh and comfort, not because of temptations to hold on to this illusion of control over my life.
Amen!
