Is it ever ok to just tell God you can't do it? Is it ok to tell him you have taken all the stones from fellow Christians you can take with out literally laying down and dying? When asked what is the hardest part of my job...it wouldn't be the governments...I can deal with them, it is fellow Christians who think they have it all together and cast stones at me for the work I do in caring for the children in Liberia.
Some of those people read my blog...I'm sure they will take great pleasure in my defeat! They can be proud to know the enemy has used them well!
I've never known to you run from adversity! You are a fighter and an awesome warrior for His kingdom!

2 Corinthians 4
"God will use whatever he wants to display his glory. Heavens and stars. History and nations. People and problems.
Rather than begrudge your problem, explore it. Ponder it. And most of all, use it. Use it to the glory of God.
Through your problems and mine, may God be seen."

My mom would say, "Let us not be weary in well doing, for we shall reap a harvest, if we faint not."
ReplyDeleteI say, "Kick 'em in the shin!"
Um, I'd listen to my mom.
I'm sorry sweet friend. Sorry that sometimes it's Christians who prevent others from following Christ. Love you, love your heart for these precious children from Liberia, and love that you are NOT going to let ANYONE stop you from what God has called YOU to do. Praying!! Amy
