learning to trust...

huge exhale.........
this has been a crazy weekend/week so far. that is the only word i have for it...haha
the trip has had an interesting development. After giving the parents and students the weekend to pray and discuss whether or not they'll be going to Mexico...we got the final word on Monday.

we are going to mexico.
2 of our team members are not.

tough? yes. but God knows.
i dont know what He is doing, i dont know why things are changing...and its not easy, but all i keep hearing is "trust me that i know what i am doing. trust me that i am taking care of you all. know that i am God."
and that has been the peace through all the decision-making and the uncertainties and things that dont go as planned.
He is God.
we didnt know if we would even be able to go to Mexico if people dropped out, so we were really just prepared for anything.
but then PPM said that they would take us no matter what.
so then we were faced with "what is our calling?" do the Project? or go to Mexico?
turns out - Mexico.
so while the decision to go even though some of our team can't is a hard one...its so God's decision. He is calling and i'm so excited to answer - even though we will miss the team members that cant come. God knows how its all going to work and He is sovereign and i am trusting that. and looking at all the things happening and the timing of it all...its pretty amazing to see God's hand on every detail. its just so cool how He sees when things are going to be hard and just puts things in place so that we can be refined, but still be able to see Him work so clearly.
yeah, its just very cool.
so...that is the update on this trip!
please keep us in your prayers that we can keep following Gods will, keep looking to Him and that we can be willing to take the hard steps...
its all for His glory and so we just have to remember that its not about us...its His plan and He knows.
beautiful. :)
