Signs...

So I mentioned that I have received several "signs" that the work we are about to do is what God wants us to do. The first thing that happened was my pastor was given the unexpected opportunity to go to Africa to visit the work that Christian Relief Fund does in Uganda & Kenya. This gave him the chance to talk with missionaries to see what needs to be done. The day after he returned, we spoke with him at church about what he found out. The missionaries currently in Uganda were overjoyed to here that there were some people who wanted to come over and help. The moment I learned that, I knew that God had swung the door that I had been praying about wide open. I drove home from church that night on clouds---I was elated to think that this dream could be becoming a reality. What's even wierder is what happened the next day, however. One of my profs approached me during lunch hour and told me he had been thinking about me and praying about me over the weekend and felt that he needed to tell me something. He said that he felt that God wanted me to know that I would find my life fulfillment in Kenya! The crazy thing is, my prof had no idea that just the night before I had been chatting with my pastor about that exact possibility! I just have to tell you...God is good! And then there's the issue about student loans. This year my college offered, for the first time, a grant that will pay a graduate's student loans for the entire time he or she is on the mission field. Greg, one of my teammates & I, who happened to be graduating this year AND going to the mission field both received the scholarship. Coincidence? I think not! God has been opening doors left & right since we received the initial opportunity in March. He is Good...
