When life moves quickly, my typing doesn’t quite follow suit. Hence the reason my last blog was in July…and it is now…almost November.
You win some, you lose some.
In an ironic twist of fate, the Lord is allowing me to go back to Guatemala, although not at all in the capacity that I thought, or had planned. The God I know is…witty. Chuckling, you could say. A year ago at this time, I was knee-deep in fundraising training. A year later, I’m knee deep in a relationship and going back to minister to my former team. If you would’ve told me the chain of events that have transpired to get me from point A “moving to Guatemala” to point B “life as I know it,” I would have laughed. It is so beautiful to submit our lives to the Lord’s plan…His insight truly is inscrutible. And as much as I rail against it at times, He knows what’s best.
Although the Lord has re-directed my path (now for the second time) from going to the mission field, He has stirred my heart incredibly for Him: what His heart is, what He is doing, where He is working, how to submit to His will and His authority. For this, I’m grateful. We’re going over the week of Thanksgiving and are praying for the church to join us in prayer and financial support; e-mail me (jen.stetter@gmail.com) if you’re interested.
Wanted to share a few pics from my trip with David to Yellowstone and Glacier National Park…what a beauty! http://www.flickr.com/photos/fullmetalphotos/sets/72157624985163171/
Hope the trip is going well:) Happy Thanksgiving! Can’t wait to hear all about it when you get home. I’m praying for you all.
