I have been pondering the whole what are you doing that requires God to show up or it will fail question. I thought about it for a while-nothing, I have nothing! Dang. I look back and think well did I ever do that-and I feel that I use to be doing stuff all the time that I needed God or it had no chance! So I peal another layer off and think what happened! I believe that I asked for bigger and bigger things in faith, of which most worked out, then a few huge things didn't work out and I just fell off the cliff of asking. Instead of continuing to ask for things-bitterness ensued and lead to the downfall. (Side note-I just had to look up ensue to make sure that is how you spell it AND to make sure downfall was one word!) Interesting I thought. Where did I have a lot of my faith before-what did I have to have God's help in or it was donzo. And there it is-mission trips! I had to have God's help every minute while doing work with the kids in the Dominican Republic. Whether I was in the DR or just doing things in Blacksburg-faith was needed. I plan to go to the Ukraine next year-I feel that is going to be a big process and am excited for it! Journey well. Cory Sick.
