Do you ever believe lies? You know those lies that you are not good enough; or that someone else could do a better job; or why can't you handle that? I find myself so afraid to admit that I can't handle something because I think that other people can and I am just being a big baby! Sometimes I feel afraid to ask for prayer in the trivial things because people will think of less of me and think that I am weak. I am afraid that if I admit that I need help that people will not think that I can do the job and will not ask me to be a part of something again. LIES! Do you struggle with that? I think if I am honest I halfway expected to come here and all my old struggles would stay back in America where they belong. What I have found is that I think my strengths stayed back there! Africa has an amazing way of revealing all of your weaknesses for the world to see.
I think that seeing these lies is powerful because now I can fight them with truth. I am so overwhelmed by all of your prayers. What a powerful testimony of the power of prayer. I was so afraid to post my need for prayer in the trivial, ordinary things of life. When you deal with poverty, death, and need here it seemed silly to ask for prayer for me and being overwhelmed. The response of prayer and encouragement has been so good. God is sufficient. He is able! He is here to meet all my needs even the small needs. Thank you all so much!
By the way, I have been out in villages and have not had internet access that is why there has been such a long time between posts.
