Prayer

Hey everyone!

I could use all the prayers you can give me right now. I'm setting off into a new time in my life and I feel somewhat lonely. Not because I am alone, but because this is my journey and I have no good friends my age right now that will aid me on this journey. The pastor was speaking today and something he said about Jonah struck a chord within me. He said Jonah was called to go alone and alone he finally went. I don't understand everything God does, but He does everything for a purpose, even if it's a mistake you have made. I'm praying that He'll fill me and be the best friend I need. No human being was created to be alone. God instilled in us a yearning to be near Him, to be fulfilled. I've been called to witness to two girls my age, and I could use all of your prayers as I find ways to speak with them. One is going to be very difficult to talk to since she is not one of my favorite people, and yet she lives in my neighborhood. Another also lives in my neighborhood, but she and I have always got along. With all of you behind me and God at my side great things can be accomplished! Even if they seem impossible at the moment.

I've also been wondering about Canada as a possible mission field. I've had a curiousity about it, and my French would actually come in handy there! J'aime parle francais!(I like to speak French.) It happened last Sunday as I heard Ms. Claire, our women's ministry leader, speaking about their mission trip to Canada. Unlike the US, there are very few people in Canada who profess to be a Christian and a lot of children have never been to a VBS. It's quite sad, and I feel there may be something there for me to do. I'm not sure if it's God's calling yet or not, but I hope my heart will be ready and open for it if God calls me to go there. I'm also wondering if God wants me to be a missionary pilot or not. I really don't know and I'm unsure. As I've said before I could use all the prayers I can get! I want to go where God wants me to go. I want to be in His will because then I know I am doing the right thing despite any feeling I may have at the moment. 

The great thing is I know I have a purpose, even now. God has instructed me to go, and I will obey. If I can't speak of Him in my own community then how can I be expected to go to a different country and speak of Him? This will be a time to go out and do what I was made to do. Bring others to Him.

Peace to you all,
