A Dream of Clarity.

Today, here in College Station, it is very cold. I did not want to get up this morning and I did not have the energy to put on all the layers and walk to my classes, but of course, I got up and did what I needed to do.
I bundled up and headed off to class. As I was walking across campus (starting to not feel my toes) I thought of how blessed I was just to even have socks and shoes on my feet. I get so caught up in going to school, then going to work and then doing it all over again that I lose sight in the blessings.

I challenge each one of you to count your blessings and not to take the little things for granted. The Lord is good, all the time and all the time the Lord is good :)

So let me share with you a dream I had the other day.

So this is how the dream goes:

I was laying in bed and did not want to get up. I was warm and cozy in my bed and it was freezing cold outside, but I kept hearing the Lord speak to me. He kept telling me. "Jenny, get up and go outside, I have a surprise for you." I would respond to God, "God but why? It is so cold and I am warm, Can't I just stay in bed for five more minutes." And then God would respond with a quiet collected voice, "Jenny, go outside right now, I have a surprise for you."
So, I finally agreed with God and went outside. As soon as I stepped outside, I was freezing but I saw something in a distance. There were these two little kids running my way. When they got to me they smiled and opened their hands. Each kid had $200 in their hands. They handed me the money and ran away.
The Lord then whispered, "I told you Jenny, I will provide."
I leaped for JOY! The Lord is so so good.

Soon after, I woke up. Now I know what you are thinking. MAN! What a bummer. You got $400 in your dream to go towards your missions and then you wake up with $0, but that's not it at all. I woke up with clarity and understanding that I need to cast all my worries on the Lord and trust the Lord.

I am going to Haiti March 13 for 6 days and then this summer I am leading a mission team starting July 7, 2011. In between there is a lot of funding that will need to come in order for these trips to be successful, but I am not worried.

The Lord is amazing and He has called me to the mission field and I am not afraid. In everything I do, He will provide. In all the words that I speak, He will provide. The Lord is my rock and foundation and nothing will move me because within me is the Holy Spirit and I speak His truth.

Stand Strong and Never lose sight of our Savior.
