The burning question...IT. What is IT that keeps me from doing what God clearly tells me to do?
FEAR-the butterflies in my stomach-the "oh-no" she might need something from me dilemma-the hate to ask because I know you are busy, you are very busy, you don't even know who I am-that's just too much for me to dive into right now-the possibility of rejection-ugh!!!
BUT... the WORST is knowing what will happen if I DON'T listen to God's command to share what truly matters most to HIM...
SO, hear it is me opening up, being vulnerable, exposing a little bit more of my heart and asking you to be a part of my journey BACK to NICARAGUA. YES...that means YOU!!!
I hope that those who read my blog know or have gathered that I don't have IT all together.No big surprise there, just wanted to clear the air.
However, I do know, I do believe God sent me to Nicaragua back In October of 2008 for a reason... to prick my heart ever so gently so that I would NOT forget His children both big and small there as I re-entered my much blessed life here with its many responsiblities, obligations, duties, and even sweet distractions. And you guessed IT.. He is calling me to GO in May of 2009.
Sounds simple enough...right...just GO Betty...what is IT that you need from ME???
I simply NEED your LOVING PRAYERS, CREATIVE IDEAS to raise support, AND EVEN YOUR BLESSING to once again leave my most priceless, precious treasures behind, take up my cross God has given me to share HIS love to the country of Nicaragua.
Oh and one last specific prayer request from His word:
Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given to me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Ephesians 6:19-20
Love,
Betty

That is so great Betty! I am so glad that you can go and share The Word with all of those children and who better to do that than you! Your so gifted to be able to reach children in such a special way!
Love it!!! I will pray your support starts flooding in! I can't wait to go back with you! Kyla
Oh, what a wonderful (and overwhelming, I am sure!) mission God has set before you! It is a great woman who is called by God, not because of her own greatness, but because God believes He can be great THROUGH her. You have proven to Him Who Knows You Best that you are willing to be an empty vessel (non-believers will be wondering why that is something we shout JOY over!) - a vessel made full only in the pouring out of The Holy Spirit into you. Let it be so. Go in PEACE, and GO with our prayers.
