Thanks, you all! The only language I speak is hillbilly! That should get me by in any third world country....poor speak is poor wherever you go.

Naw, just kiddin'!

I am taking a workshop in June on disaster relief through Samaritan's Purse. I'm going to try to glean as much info as I can before then and will probably go wherever they may wish to send me....I guess wherever there is the most need.

Farm, I'll look into that Women's Missionary Union...it may be more tailored for women's missions, ya think?

Yes, I have been feeling this for some time but it feels really good to just let go of my inhibitions and step out with a plan and a goal.

Should be hard work, should lose a lot of this flab, should get really good and dirty and I should be good and tired when I lay down my head at night. Should be lotsa fun!!!

Gonna sell all my canning stuff, all my tools, my tiller, my fencing....well....gonna sell everything I can't pack into a couple of bags. My boss says she is "very worried" about me because she heard I was giving away all my stuff. I told her that I WAS giving away all my stuff but now I'm just selling all my stuff!

Good luck with this Bee!

 

[Beekissed]

Don't need luck, BB..... I just need enough faith to see it through....pray that I have enough faith. I could always use a little more....no, a LOT more faith!

 

[Beekissed]

So....what's the new topic? Anyone?

 

[BarredBuff]

Don't need luck, BB..... I just need enough faith to see it through....pray that I have enough faith. I could always use a little more....no, a LOT more faith!

I will pray to the father so that he may send you faith. I also pray the eternal spirit will abide in you through your journey.

I've had on my mind lately prayer.

The conditions for it being answered, things that hamper our prayers, and so on. Is that too big a topic?

 

[MorelCabin]

Bee! Wow, you told me not too long ago that you were changing directions...and I was a little worried..but I'm not at all worried anymore! The Lord has given you a direction and he is clearing the path for you to go there, that is absolutely wonderful, and I couldn't think of anything a woman of your heart and knowledge would enjoy more!
You just follow where He leads...and please always keep in touch when you can! I am so very happy for you!

Now on the matter of prayer Shiloh...I don't think it is too big a topic at all...as a matter of fact, I think it is a great idea!

Since I watched Fried Green Tomatoes I have had this verse in my head:

And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God..

RUTH 1:16

How about the topic of missions both home and abroad.

What do you do to support missions and how do you think God uses YOU in a missionary capacity?

Plus the Bible verses that go with the missionary mindset.

"And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." Mark 16:15

Beekissed, wow this is great! I know that you will have trust and faith in your new direction towards mission work. Isn't it just awesome how we have unrest right before we are led in the direction our wonderful Lord wants us to go. If I remember right and please correct me if I am wrong but you are in the medical field and you can do so much for so many I am so happy to hear how you are blessed.
Shiloh, how did your vet visit turn out? I will pray for you as well as for Beekissed.
I don't know why but the SSBSG forum update has not been showing up on my computer so I just checked in and found all of your news.
BarredBuff, thank you for sharing Ruth 1:16 with us it makes me more aware that we need faith and letting go and putting trust in our Lord. I am thinking of a quote from Whittier : "The steps of faith fall on the seeming void, but find the rock beneath"
