OH, SO BLESSED AM I!

I have truly been blessed my entire life and it has been here recently that I have realized just how blessed I really am.

I have wanted to go to Peru for 5 years; God blessed me with the opportunity.

I have the opportunity to go to Peru, God opening the door to go to Peru was a real blessing.

God opened the door to Peru and I was blessed with a loving and so very supportive church family and never-ending support.

My church and family supported me having a yard sale to raise money, and what do you know, I was blessed with all the funding I have needed so far.

I know when we often think of blessings we think financially, but stop and think. The absolute GREATEST blessings of all are those that are not so money like. I mean we all are so very blessed to have the gift of life and not a one of us deserve it. And the love of God, our parents, or a spouse is a gift from God. It is a blessing to live in such a country to where we can carry a Bible and even own a Bible. I mean we can go to a local bookstore and buy a Bible and we have the availability to many resources. We can worship Jesus freely and in some countries it is illegal to use any Christian terminology.

I have also been so blessed recently by God providing the funding for this trip to Peru. Several people have given me some money, and I know they do not want any glory for it. With the economy like it is today, and people to just help me like they have, that goes to prove that this economy is so unstable but my God is always so stable. I have never really had to worry about how I was going to pay for this trip, because my God provided and that was a blessing to see God provide like He has. When you take a leap of faith onto the mission field, it literally changes your whole life. You see things with a new set of eyes. I wish you could see some things the way that I have.

I have been blessed way beyond measure and I am sure in more ways than I even begin to realize but God is not finished with me, yet.
