Exodus 4:11-12

The Lord said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him dear or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I wil help you speak and will teach you what to say. --Exod. 4:11-12


Doing my devotions this morning, I continued on with my goal of reading through the Bible in its entirety.  I read about the plagues that filled Egypt when Pharaoh's heart was hard and would not relent to God's will.  Moses, though strong in his faith in God, did not have much faith in himself.  He did not think himself worthy to be the messenger and deliverer of the Israelites.  But God chose him for a reason; for a very specific purpose.


He has chosen me as well :)  That is one of the many things that God has been reaffirming over these past months... that I HAVE been called for a greater purpose than myself.  In church this past Sunday the pastor was speaking on Isaiah 6:8, which has come to find a very special place in my heart.  As I sat in my seat listening to the words of God, I could physically feel the Holy Spirit filling me.  It was all I could do to cry and just be still in awe.  God has broken my heart for the people of this world who are suffering.  He has called me to GO and seek them out.  


I have been trying over the past few months to enter a Master's program, or get a job, but neither has proved fruitful up to this point.  I know that I am praying for God's will, and for myself to just be obedient and listen and follow.  However... I am not finding open doors yet.  Or... maybe I am not seeing them?

Stephen and I have been talking a lot about God's will and desire for each of our lives separately, and collectively.  In an effort to better focus my prayer time and earnest seeking His will, I am going to be doing the Daniel Fast.  Starting tomorrow, April 1st, for 21 days.  My friends in Peru have just completed it recently, and there are a lot of tools and information available to help me through this process found at www.danielfast.wordpress.com.  Please be praying for me!  I KNOW that God has such amazing things in store for this life He is allowing me to lead. He has grown me into a person that I am proud to be!!!  A few years ago, I couldn't say that I was proud of myself.  It is only by His grace and love that I have come out on top.  


As I continue to look for school, work or missions opportunities, please pray for this journey of mine!!
