Take heart

Hello Friends.

I write this post with a little bit of a heavy heart. As stated in my last post, I was supposed to meet up with a student named Amy on Friday. I was really excited to do so and spent a good amount of time planing out what I would say. However, both her and her husband did not show up. I'm not sure if she forgot or was never interested in the first place.

It's not like I went home and cried about it afterwards, but it did hurt. I was very excited to meet with Amy and she seemed really interested in learning more about God. She was the one who asked me if I could tell her more. I'm not sure what happened, but could you pray for her? Pray that I would see her again or that she would respond to my email. Or just pray that someone else would be able to tell her more about who Jesus is. I 100% believe God is sovereign and this is all part of His plan.

Also, please continue to pray for Greg and Elise. They have been on my heart and mind a lot. Here's the link to their blog with more info

Please also pray for my best friend Felicia ( most of you back home know her and what's going on). She's having brain surgery on August 10th. I really wish I could be with her and comfort her and it's hard for me to be away.

Despite all of this, God has been faithful. He daily lifts me up and encourages me through scripture and other team members. Here are a couple of the verse that have been encouraging me.

Psalm 27: 14
Wait for the Lord;
     be strong, and let your heart take courage;
    wait for the Lord!


and Hebrews 6:19-20


^" We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, ²⁰ where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."




Hopefully these will encourage you as well.


Cheers,
Hannah
