Above and Beyond

God's blessings keep falling on me, and this time He went above and beyond.
When I first found out about being selected for this missions trip I was overwhelmed with joy, but my human nature started to think logic with me by saying "Grace, how are you possibly going to raise the support?". I have learned that sometimes we need to put logic aside and let God work in his seemingly illogical ways. Not only has God provided my full support, but He has provided above and beyond my goal. I think he just wanted me to take a step of faith so He could humor me in providing above and beyond what I ask. And it's not just a financial need that I was looking for, it was a strong group of prayer supporters I was longing for too. To no surprise, God has supplied those prayer warriors for me. I am so thankful for them and all God has blessed me with thus far, and I haven't even left the country yet.
I would ask for those that are praying for me if you would join me in drawing a prayer circle around this trip. Please pray along side me that:

• I will prepare myself to be used by God and listen to Him before I even step on the plane 
• people's heart's will be open and ready to hear the gospel
• traveling mercies and good health
• for me and my team to listen, watch, and go, in response to the Holy Spirit's leading
• seeds will be sown, heart's will be watered, and a harvest will be brought forth (all spiritually speaking)

Thank you for all your prayers in advanced. I am getting so excited for Paraguay, I can barely contain myself! God has shown me a lot so far, and I think He is just getting started. :)
