Prayer Please

These final weeks/days prior to leaving for Africa are always tough for me. This time is proving to be no different. The Lord seems to be asking me to trust Him more and more. Things are completely out of my control and I need to trust! Each morning I start my day by writing a list of things I need to let go of. I have been reminded of the verse: "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7 So, with that stated, God has called me to Mozambique so he'll get me there, right???
Not without a passport He won't!!
Will you please pray as I found out today that my passport (that I sent away to get my visa put into) has been sitting at some post office in Washington DC waiting to be picked up by the embassy! Ahh!!! I was supposed to have it in hand by now!
Another area to trust God with.
Please pray for me to have peace as I may not get my visa/passport until just days before my scheduled departure. Phew.
It's also extra challenging right now as my sister was admitted to the hospital today for monitoring as they await the babies. It's a wonderful time, but really hard to be preparing to leave. Pray for them. Pray for continued good health for Disa and all the babies. I can't praise God enough for all the support that has been surrounding my sister's family. We are reminded of how God truly is our provider and sustainer. The Church (being the body of Christ and community) are really rising up caring, as we're called to do.
My family is being reminded of how when we "lose control" of our lives we get to a place where we allow God to be God! When we can't know the end results, when we can't understand how things are going to work, when we don't know how we're going to make it, it's then that we're on our knees. It's when we're at a place were we really NEED the Lord that He has the opportunity to be who He is. I AM.
There's a lot to praise God for, and a lot to continue to be lifted up. Thanks for being there for me-- for us!
