God is Faithful!
This year was another year of transition for me as we moved to the Barcelona area. I have changed my place of residence seven times in the last 4 years. For someone who had made only one major move in her adult life (from California to Colorado) these transitions have been a bit stressful. Sometimes I think the Lord is providing me with new ways to lean on Him. The financial insecurity involved in being a missionary is also a new experience. My husband and I always had good, steady jobs and didn’t need to be concerned about the next paycheck. This too is one of the ways the Lord is stretching my faith and helping me to rearrange my priorities. In the midst of these “trials” God’s goodness is very evident in my life. As this year ends and a new one begins, I have many reasons to praise Him.
I am looking forward to spending Christmas in Denver with my children and dear friends. God has provided most of the funds for my ticket home (through my children and some friends). Perhaps He knew I needed this time at home to be encouraged, to recharge my batteries and gain a fresh perspective.
This month’s quotes:“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord'.” Luke 2:8-11
“And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6b
