I cannot contain my joy and excitement about going to Ecuador. My heart wants to leap out of my chest when I think about the fact that I AM GOING TO ECUADOR FOR 6 MONTHS!!!! It is such a huge blessing and I must remind myself to thank God. He has been so faithful and He is the one that gave me this passion. The anticipation is continuing to build. Just when I thought I could not love something anymore, my love grows deeper. The fire is burning and I can’t wait to let it run loose in the harvest fields of Ecuador.
This reminds me of the verse in Isaiah that talks about the “smoldering flax he will not quench…” Over all the years, the fire came close to dying. Circumstances, loss and depression threatened to take it away. My own fears and numbness almost took it away. Even at Bible school, wind of reality made the flame grow dim. Yet, as I stand here today and look at the course of events there is no doubt in my mind about the call of God. There is no doubt about what it is He has called me to do. How can I deny a burning so strong that wind nor rain could quench it? It could only be the hand of God upon my life. I know what it is I am called to and the God that has called me. Therefore, I can proceed in faith that great things will happen.
