A passage that is familiar to most of us and we have memorized several verses from this passage to encourage us and others as we daily strive to obey and glorify Our Father! But this letter to the exiles hits me in a different way this week. I know that I am not like the Israelites and am not being exiled to Babylon for the next 70 years but this month of July has been a difficult one!

It all started with a phone call from the IMB but has ended with HIM being HIS Sovereign self and showing HIMSELF faithful! I have been on an emotional, spiritual, and physical roller coaster this month but HE has remained ever True and always the Same as always. I was looking at this period in the States as a short time of visiting friends, family, and clubs to share what HE has done over the past 2 years and recruit support for the work HE is about to do in Palenque. When in reality, HE had designed this period of time for me to "seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pry to The Lrd on its behalf, for in its welfare I will find my welfare." HE has asked me to roll up my sleeves and get involved here.

I have claimed HIS promise that HE knows the plans HE has for me and these are plans for my welfare, to give me hope and a future! HE has stated that if I I seek HIM with all my heart, I will find HIM. And I have done a lot of seeking HIM over the past several months at home. Although my heart is in Colombia, I am here. HE has me here for such a time as this. I have rolled up my sleeves, served along side my family and friends, and watch HIM perform miracles in my life and in their lives. And as I wait on HIS Time to reveal HIS Plans for my future, I am daily dying to myself and obediently following hard after HIM!  Thank you for pryng for me and reading! I promise to do a better job of updating this blog as HIS Revelations are new every morning and I need to share those with HIS Word
