"set-backs"...

We have been filled with an immense sense of urgency to be completely infiltrated by our faith in God's provision. Due to the economic instability, we will now begin training Feb/March rather than Dec, which will change our plans of embarking to Kenya in June rather than in March. Initially, our hearts were bombarded with emotion as we have eagerly been anticipating this season to begin. However, the more we sit with the Lord, the greater His plan surfaces as we recognize this is all part of His purpose (to prepare us and to strengthen our faith). We know that our part in Vapor is not in our Hands to manipulate or to accomplish, but that it settles entirely in God's Sovereign plan. We must be faith driven, trusting in every part of this journey that may lead us down a path that we did not anticipate. We have to be fluid, willing to go with every "set-back" in deep contentment, trust, and perseverance. We know that within this journey there are no "set-backs" for we are walking this path in the utmost of provision by the One who will lead us in His timing. We take this opportunity of "waiting" as the time for our hearts to become even more aligned with this vision, as we have more days to prepare our hearts, our minds, and our bodies for what we will entail during the year overseas. We ask that you pray for us as we seek temporary jobs during the transition from Cinci to Sylacauga until we begin training. There are differing ways that we are experiencing God's hand over us during this waiting period, as our faith is being tested beyond what we have ever endured. Even though we live in a society of great planners, where every part of life seems to be mapped out in intricate detail, we are in a position to go with every part of the flow, leaving us without a "plan" and relying ENTIRELY on our faith in God to provide. We ask that you pray for our faith in God's provision to continue in consistency, in depth, and in belief.
