My husband is without a job, my house is for sale, the economy is in the tank…so I’m going to Zambia!

After several weeks of “bargaining with God”, I have decided to take a big leap of faith and go forward with my plans to go to Camp Life in July.  When Wray lost his job, I put everything on hold, thinking surely that God would give him a job so that I could go teach Zambian orphans that Jesus loves them.  My ever-present “bossy nature” was trying to tell God what would work best for me and my family, obviously He isn’t in need of my advice.

I have fretted over how to pay for this trip—the last two years have been funded by wonderful family and friends in support.  Since Josh went to work for Family Legacy, I decided not to write support letters in hopes that anyone who might support me, would in fact support my sweet son.  I have been praying that God would drop a wad of money on me so I could go — Wray says He did in the form of his severance payment.  Our tithe of that money will go to God’s work in Zambia instead of His work in Dallas.  I guess I was just greedy and wanted to be able to give to both works.

After lots of tears and prayer, the check is in the mail.  I’m going to Zambia!!  I feel like I’m jumping off the financial cliff–hoping and knowing that God is providing a job parachute, a housing parachute, and an economical parachute–my job is to give Him the honor and glory while being His hands and feet.
