Ryan and I are on our way to Greece. For the most part I feel like I'm walking stone blind into the unknown. Part of me wishes you all would think I have it all together. But I don't. I wish I could tell you that trusting comes natural and that this journey into this insanity has been easy. But honest, trusting has been so hard. There are nights when I yell what seems like logic into my head. " Blast it Ken! Why do you get yourself into crazy deals!? Cut it out! Can't you keep your trap shut and stop praying for hard stuff."
And God just whispers " Trust me." I could tell you about the moment right after my ticket was bought and I didn't know if I should cry, laugh or do both because I checked my mission account had only one $1 and $20 to my name. I know. But I could also tell you about the fact that I had $1000 within a week and that God is faithful. God doesn't do random. Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. . . . [For] your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.” (Luke 12:22, 30–31) I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:11–13)\ Max Lucado says "The secret to loving is living loved." Courage comes from a heart that is convinced it's loved. - Prepare my mission. Please back us up with prayer. Pray that God would lead us and work through us. Also for each of the people we meet. Huge thank you to all the people who have been praying for us and backing us up. We love you. - "Today is a day that the Lord has specially made (Psalm 118:24). He has planned it for you. It has a purpose. No matter what it holds, give thanks for it (1 Thessalonians 5:18). For God does not waste a day and he will not waste you. And if you love and trust him, you will one day discover that today, unremarkable as it now seems, will do you remarkable good (Romans 8:28). " - John Boom.
