For the past year and a half I have been unemployed, in a lot of pain with tons of fatigue and felt generally miserable. The only time I have felt good (at least on the inside) in my prayer time and when I am serving God in one way or another.
As I start to feel better I have begun to do more at church, especially with the youth and outreach ministries.
For nearly 2 years I have felt God calling me into service as some sort of missionary, but I was unclear how to go about doing it.
Heath has been very worried about our finances because we're draining our savings account living on only his salary.
My health has not improved enough for me to commit to any job, since my health is still very unpredictable. However, I have still been able to do a variety of ministries at church (when I am well).
In the past few weeks everything has really been falling into place. Not only has God made a move on the local missionary front (I'm traveling, all expenses paid, to Houston and Nashville in October for conferences focusing on local missions work) but also on the money front. My disability case has been approved, a year ahead of schedule! The social security representative who has helped me with the paperwork was shocked that it happened so fast, she didn't understand why. I do though, it's all part of God's plan. I trusted that he would provide, and that if I really was being called to missional service he would show me how when I was ready... and he has done all that and more!
Praise the Lord!!
