God is DEFINITELY in Control

So I have 97 days left until I leave for Haiti and God keeps showing His goodness more and more each step of the way.

In "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young this is what today's devotion said...

Be still in the Light of My Presence, while I communicate Love to you.  There is no force in the universe as powerful as My Love.  You are constantly aware of limitations: your own and others'.  But there is no limit to My Love; it fills all of space, time, and eternity.

Now you see through a glass, darkly, but someday you will see Me face to Face.  Then you will be able to experience fully how wide and long and high and deep is My Love for you.  If you were to experience that now, you would be overwhelmed to the point of feeling crushed.  But you have an eternity ahead of you, absolutely guaranteed, during which you can enjoy My Presence in unrestricted ecstasy.  For now, the knowledge of My loving Presence is sufficient to carry you through each day.

What an awesome devotion today.  It spoke directly to me.  God is communicating His love to me so frequently lately.  He keeps reminding me how much He loves me and how He has everything under control and it’s ALL in His hands!

Last night at Bible Study we talked about how God’s funds are limitless.  He is able to supply all of our financial needs, as long as we trust Him and put our anxiety in His hands.  That is what I keep learning with each trip I take to Haiti.  This trip is more expensive then my past two, so I have to put even more trust in Him, but He is fulfilling it in mighty ways!

I still don’t know exactly what God has in store for me.  I know He’s called me to be a nurse (I got my acceptance letter into LMU’s BSN program last week!!) and I know He’s given me a passion for Haiti for a reason.  I just don’t know exactly what He’s going to do, but I’m open and willing to listen and ready to act!

This morning I received a facebook message from someone that I hold near and dear to my heart, but someone I don’t know all that well.  She was asking me where she could send money to for my trip to Haiti this summer.  WOW!!  I was so humbled by her generosity to me.  It definitely got my day started off the right way.

And then at lunch I had Chinese food and got a fortune cookie.  My fortune cookie was …

Bam! That woman that I hold near and dear to my heart has dark hair!  Crazy how I got that facebook message this morning and got that fortune this afternoon!  Love it!!
