When
I was asked to be a co-leader for the Navajo mission two things happened; I
felt honored to asked – then the fear set in. Being an introverted, shy woman who
lacks self confidence, clearly the enemy of our souls saw an opportunity for
attack…once again. What if I fail? What if I mess up? What if…and what if…?
My
first challenge was to come up with a budget…oh my gosh! I have to calculate
mileage, gas and meal prices, airline costs. This is one of the reasons I
retired from the financial industry…figures, formulas…ugh! So many questions
for dear Mary who has always faced this budget…thanks for your patience with
me.
I prayed for perseverance and God delivered me. Each step of the way, each
struggle, each fear, God was/is with me. He encourages me daily and has shown
me I don’t need to have confidence in ‘me’, I need have confidence in God in
all things, big, small, all. He is the lover of my soul, He is the friend of my
soul.
I prayed to The Lord, and He answered me,
freeing me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4
I
am ready, willing and able to serve the Navajo women along with our team. May
God be honored.
