Nothing Is Too Hard

"'Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is TOO HARD FOR YOU'...'Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is ANYTHING TOO HARD for me?'" Jeremiah 32:17, 27

On this promise, we embark on this summer! No matter what the day holds, what emotions arise, and what challenges may come, NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR OUR LORD!

I arrived in Ecuador last night. Ruby & Fletcher Dickerson warmly welcomed me into the country and into their home with brownies & icecream topped with whip cream and a strawberry! Mr. Fletcher bought fresh roses for my room!

Today through Saturday will be for adjusting to altitude, re-learning language, transportation, local markets, directions, safety tips, etc. I'm soaking it all in. This morning the Lord gave me His strength through 1 Chronicles 28:20-
"Be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed, for the Lord God is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you, until all the work for the service...of the Lord is finished."

I am here to serve Him and I will choose to trust Him with all the exciting things and new things that surround me!

My desire for this summer is to gain a deeper understanding and love for our Lord and His Gospel and for that love to motivate a natural flow of joy & truth & hope to be displayed through my life- in words, actions, attitude, & disposition.

PLEASE PRAY-
- That the gift of my salvation & the love of Christ will change me & motive me this summer.
- For me to hunger for God's word and to diligently seek His face.
- For me to quickly pick up my Spanish again & to learn all the little things about being in Quito.

  2. So good to hear an update! I will be praying that each day you will gain a clearer view of the gospel and trust the Lord in every circumstance, with every person, and even every problem in light of His great goodness and sovereignty. Love you!
