I have a terrible memory. That is one of the many reasons I have decided to write a blog. The Lord has been so good to me in so many ways and I forget...not His goodness, but the specific blessings. Which brings me to my point. While researching back through some of the things I have actually written I was reminded of something.
As I prepared for my trip in March 2007, I reached out to the organization which had sent my French Missionary friend to Strasbourg. The following is an excerpt of that email conversation, "...I know it is not normal to venture out alone, as the Lord sent people out in two's, but as I pray, I still feel the Lord's urging. I have a peace about this trip and feel the Lord will speak to me while I am there. I know this must sound sort of weird. I hope to have the opportunity to speak with you before I go. I would very much like to visit Strasbourg and possibly the other areas you minister in to see if this is where the Lord would have me serve.
As far as the relational evangelism, I just feel that is what the Lord is laying on my heart. That this will not be accomplished through street evangelism, but through living among and ministering to, and building relationships with people. I also feel that this will be some sort of foundation for something else. It's odd, but the Lord hasn't shown me much about it. I believe He is asking me to step out in faith - to a land that He will show me...I am trusting the Lord to provide the way for me to do it...if He is truly calling me to it. Again, I know this might sound strange. God has brought me through a lot in the last 10 years."
Before my trip I felt the Lord tell me this would be a foundation for something else. I spoke to my France-hearted friend and she said she felt the Lord had shown her the same thing. This was a great encouragement.
