Trust



These months of preparation for my missions trip to Costa Rica have been very interesting. I've been confused at times. I've never done this before and I can say that I've learned a few lessons. The one major thing I've had to learn is to trust God. It's so much easier said than done. I've had to trust for His provision. I got to the point where my mind felt like it was spinning; trying to come up with countless ideas for fund-raising, yet God kept repeating to just trust Him. I didn't want to just sit and do nothing and expect the money to fall into my lap. So rather than drive myself nuts trying to get the money, I felt God leading me to just focus on simple and effective projects.

This Sunday will be the first car wash we've ever held during a service at my church. It's very practical for most people. They get to go to church and get their car washed all at the same time.

I also want to thank everybody who has helped make this trip to Costa Rica possible. Every little bit of money donated helps and I am very grateful.
