Habakkuk 3

Last semester I took my last Bible class at Multnomah and our term papers were on Habakkuk 3, which I had never truly studied before. The verses above were a huge encouragement and reminder that no matter what may come (or go) into my life, strength from the Lord is in me.

This reminder is especially important as this new year has ARRIVED and I am now in the full swing of support raising. My letters are written and being sent out now (so many of you should be expecting on by hand or in your snail-mail box ;) )! Once I have sent them all I want to meet face-to-face with whoever is willing to share my heart for BFA.

I am always surprised at how quickly I doubt or forget how God has brought me to this place. He has been so faithful to remind me that BFA is where He is calling me! How do I always forget???

SO, "what am I looking forward to most right now"? - the question that I'm getting most often.

Just meeting the girls who will be in my dorm! I seriously cannot wait to know their names...their likes and dislikes, the things that make them laugh, and the ways that make them feel most loved. I've been praying for them without names or faces for over a year now and I can't wait to KNOW them!

What do I need prayer for right now?
Courage. Raising support is a rather daunting thing, which I'm sure you can imagine. I know God is bigger than finances and He will bring it in, but it does require a lot of work on my part which I am diving into head first ;)

Please email me {larisa.w.missions@gmail.com} if you want me to send you a support letter. I would love to bring you into the loop more!

Happy January!
