support
Posted by Drew | Filed under General
It’s done. Well, I guess it’s never done. But I find myself in disbelief at God’s provision… and His timing. I have reached my goal.. well, within $20/mo anyway. And the last $730/mo all came after I had packed my suitcases for my flight to Italy. And it came very unexpectedly. One family decided to double their support for the second time since October, going from $100/mo to $200/mo, then to $400/mo. A new church came on at $250/mo and then several others have decided to join me as well, bringing me very close to my total goal. I’ll know at the end of this semester whether I’ll need to raise more, but my guess is that this is exactly what I will need. Or if it’s not, then the rest will come in the same providential timing.
I’m amazed. Several times I have wanted to ask God if I’m really where I am called to be. It doesn’t feel like it. I assume that’s because I’m still in transition. But I really cant argue about such clear abundant provision. I’m here. I have everything I need, and I have more evidence than just financial support to confirm that I am being obedient in coming to Italy.
Thanks so much for all of your prayers. Please take a moment to rejoice and thank God for providing for me and for this ministry.
apartments

I think the ladies who have been showing me apartments are very disappointed with me. They’re all great places, some of them in great location, and most of them well worth their asking prices. I hate to make people work harder than they have to in order to help me. But I feel like that’s what I’m doing. I’ve just realized that it’s difficult for me to choose a place where I want to live for at least the next 2 years, in a city that I don’t know for a price that is constantly changing due to the exchange rate. But I have options. Good options. And I think I’ll be happy whatever I choose, so it is left to me to choose well. And to continue to ask for prayer for wisdom.
