God is good.

I've had a lot of frustrating and joyful moments in the past month or so since my last post.  A month ago I didn't know if I'd ever get enough funds to make it to Houston.  I had many of my wonderful friends encourage me and support me in the setback I was experiencing, but there was one thing I kept hearing in their voices, and it's something I've always know deep down.

God is good.

And all of the sudden money started coming in.  I don't know if it's that people realized I was short or what, but money started coming in.  Then the missions committee at Westark found some more money that they could give me.  Just a few nights ago, I sat in the living room of an amazing young family listening to their ideas to raise more funds for my work at Impact, and that they want to give me 200 a month.  Today I sit across from my own flesh and blood, who intend to support me as well. 

So today on this Christmas Eve, I anticipate the birth of the Christ, the same Christ who calls me to be like him in this world.  And I remember that God is good.

Grace and Peace to you all.
