One Foot in Front of the Other

I has been a difficult month. I began fundraising, and things were going really well. Then...two days after my initial fundraising efforts, I was slammed with an upper respiratory infection. Then our heater broke (first filling the house with smoke). The smoke, coupled with the cold, didn't help my sickness. The heater, which was supposed to take several days to fix, was fortunately fixed in two. Then my car battery died. Not a big deal, just an added expense.

I was resting and drinking a lot of liquids, etc. and beginning to feel better then, suddenly, took a turn for the worse. Spent two days with basically no voice and finally broke down and began a course of antibiotics. Then our heater broke...again. Seems the motor which had been replaced was defective. Again, the house was filled with smoke but fortunately the heater was fixed the same day.

THEN tonight I broke a tooth!

It has been a difficult month. I have been sidetracked from all of my fundraising efforts and missed an opportunity to minister through song at a womans event. I hope to get back on track as my time for fundraising for this initial trip is slipping away.

I feel very overwhelmed by all that must be accomplished in order for me to serve in France. It is truly a daunting task. I am so thankful that God has promised to provide all our needs according to His riches in glory. Even when I am beaten, in my weakness He is strong.

Lord, I pray you will continue the good work you have begun in me. Protect me from the enemy and keep me safe. Help me to keep walking when I am weary, one foot in front of the next. I pray that you will keep me close and in your word. Help me to cast all of my anxiety on you, because I know you care for me. I pray for the people of the nation of France. Soften their hearts, Lord. Show them your love and teach them of your grace and mercy. Bless this effort Lord. Increase my faith and help me to stand on your promises for you Lord, are faithful.

In Jesus name, Amen!
