That is making my nose sting (because...Oh Emilee... That is making my nose sting (because tears are welling up...) And sent chills down my spine. "For I KNOW the plans I have for you," DECLARES the Lord. "Plans to PROSPER you and NOT to harm you. Plans to give you a HOPE and A FUTURE." He DECLARES this for YOU! He knows exactly what He's going to do with your life, and I have a feeling it's got something to do with Africa! :) Keep that burden He has placed on your heart, yet continually give it to Him and replace it with peace. I can offer you no comfort, for when a burden is from the Lord, it is there to stay until it is fulfilled, and even then another will take it's place. I don't know why I read these verses yesterday, but I did; "I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord, be strong, take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27:13-14 <br />He has a reason for EVERYTHING! But it comes in His perfect timing, and so we must wait. That is the hardest part. Learning to wait. Being patient with Him, because we know we can do something, anything, yet he chooses to make us wait, because his plans will fit together, perfectly, amazingly, beautifully. And we will laugh because He did it! He made everything fit together in just the right way, to bless just the right amount of people. <br />I absolutely love your heart Emilee! I know God is going to do AMAZING things through you! I'm proud to call you my friend... And I wish I was as crazy about God as you are! Love you sister! <br /><br />Love from your fellow missionary, sister in Christ, friend from afar,<br />Kara Peterson Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
