In Awe

Awe. Humbled. Amazed. Grace. Prayer. Worship. Fellowship. Gospel. Jesus. God. Holy Spirit. Humbled. Awe.
These are just some of the words that come to my mind regarding my time in Austria at the missions conference. I am so thankful that the Lord provided all of the money for the expenses to go to this conference. For all of you who financially gave to help support this conference, I want to thank you. I do pray that the Lord blesses you abundantly in return.
Originally I was not thinking about going at all to this years conference due to lack of funds for the travels and conference cost, but when the money was provided for the cost of the conference, I began to think, "Maybe I could go." During this same time I had finished reading through some books where I was challenged to get away for a few days to really go seek the Lord for what it is that He wants to do in our lives. So I then talked about it with Rebecca, and she said, "You can go."
So to get more to the point, the whole purpose of this conference for us as a family, though I was the only one to go, was to really get away for a few days and go seek the Lord. So I really came with the expectation of, "Lord, I need You to speak!" And that is exactly what He did. Every single time in the Word, every single session, every time that I got away to go sit at His feet and spend time to seek after Him, He spoke. There is so much that I could share, and Lord willing in the future I will be doing that, but I simply want to testify to you right now, that when we as God's people seek after Him with all of our hearts, He is faithful to meet us and speak to us!
I was so blessed to re-unite with many of the missionaries that are serving the Lord all throughout Europe. The fellowship, times of worship, Bible Studies, times praying with one another, will be something that I will never forget!

I am so thankful and humbled to be in the midst of what God is doing here in Europe! I pray that HE will continue to be GLORIFIED in all that is taking place here!
Please read Colossians 4:2 and continue to be praying for the work that is taking place here!

Thank you so much!
