Experiencing God's Patience

I joined a Bible study a few months ago at our church. It was a women's group of about 30 or so, that was going to study the One Month to Live book. I thought... well I've only got to give it a shot for six weeks and then I could throw my hands in the air and say, "I tried Lord!" I had already decided to never get involved in church again. Attending is one thing... invisible entry and exit, but actually getting involved? Finding people that will pray with you and for you, recognizing the lady two isles away because just last week you prayed for her father or mother... I just didn't need it.

So I went, partly to pacify a friend, partly because I wanted God to fail me once again, and partly because I was curious. I loved it. It was like reconnecting with a friend that you once knew. It was exactly what I needed in my life to live in this waiting, this year of nothingness, the moments of depression, it was everything I needed it to be. So for that God, I thank you. I tell about this group of women because we just started a new study... it is called Experiencing God's Peace. I decided that before i can experience God's peace, I should try to experience God's patience....

We received an email from the in country facilitator yesterday... he informed us that they need more time. There are some issues with Dillen's life story. I will post about our journey, and about how we miss our girl, and I will post news on travel, but this new information is for her to tell when the time is right. Pray that God gives us His patience.
