Jehovah Jireh

There are so many questions in my life right now. Where will I live after college? Will God continue to open doors for Lindsey and I to return to Helping Hands? Should I be a teacher? All those questions that seniors have when they are starting down the slide into the "real world."

However, I am being reminded of God's steadfastness. I was reading in a book the other day about the names of God. One was Jehovah Jireh, or "he will provide." That is something that I need to remember. There may be all these questions about the future, but my Father will provide. Where I fail, he will be my strength. 

Please pray that God will continue to provide direction and discernment and for our basic needs. Not only for my life or yours, but for the Helping Hands ministry. HH is still short-staffed, and it will be a long year for them, the way things are looking. God is still working there. If you remember me talking about some of my refugee friends, please continue praying for them as well. Since last fall, a few have been  jail, some have moved on to other parts of Europe, and some are still seemingly stuck in Athens. I have been able to Skype with a family of children, and it warmed my heart to see their faces, hear their voices, and catch up with their lives a little bit. Thank you for your prayers.
