I was thinking this afternoon about this building project we are in the midst of. We are VERY excited about the future of its completion, but there are still a lot of unknowns, and I admit I am sometimes worried about them. Unknowns such as, shipment arrival date, weather, travel plans, insurance etc. Then the verse came to mind... "Be still and know that I am God." Then the LORD reminded me that the purpose of this project is not ultimately to have a residence for our family or even a church meeting location, but the purpose is that God would be glorfied and that souls would be saved through this ministry.
One of the lessons I have learned in my 3+ years living in the Arctic, is that things often do NOT go as planned and one must be flexible and PATIENT!! As with this project and the many hours of work ahead and the thousands of dollars spent, things might not got exactly the way we/I want them to, but I serve a God who is never surprised; He is never caught off guard. He knows what lies ahead, now if I can just get it through my thick head and "...be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication let (my) requests be made known unto God."
Thank you for your prayers! Keep 'em coming!
