The first responses to my letters came in the mail today! I am literally jumping for joy praising God! I've been working on the Uganda process for a while now, but now that God is bringing in the funds, it makes it so much more real! I have $146, now!!! Thank you to those of you who have given donations already and thank you to all who plan on supporting me soon, financially as well as prayerfully! Please continue praying for the process! Please pray that God will use these next 5 months to build my strength and dependence on Him. I cannot wait!!!
On another note, for all of you who have been praying for me in the process of applying to Moody, I wanted to thank you immensely and give you an update. I received a letter on Saturday informing me that my application has been deferred. This means that I was not accepted for the early decision, but they will review my application again in April. A second chance! As much as I am EXTREMELY anxious and impatient for the final decision, I know that this time is all a part of God's plan for me. Please also pray for me to have guidance, patience, encouragement, and wisdom in following His will.
"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." - Isaiah 40:31
Sweet, Lydia!! You are such a joy to my heart to see the desire you have to serve Jesus Christ through ministry. May God bless you on your journey. Our prayers are with you!!
