It was hot last night... And either my allergies are acting up or I'm getting sick. Either way it does not matter. He is worthy and I am ready to suffer it out for my Savior. Yesterday was amazing. The missionaries showed up, as well as Kenny and Casey, and we all had a great time getting to know one another. We clearly have a soveriegnly appointed group, as mentioned previously, and I cannot wait to get to Italy and begin to minister. I know that God will move through us and in a way He only can. So I come unexpectantly expecting only things that God in his glory can accomplish.
Oh! As I laid down to sleep last night I cried out to the Lord for peace, rest, and contentment, and as I prayed that the temperature would drop 10 degres, I experienced an odd level of true faith. It was a faith without doubt. It was just like watching God turn down the thermostat. I knew He could do it, just because I asked. There was no doubt as to say "God if it's in your will..." So as I visualized and fully believed in this prayer I suddenly felt a cool breeze rush over me from the left side, which is against the airflow of the fan, and for the split second I enjoyed it I was startled by it and I opened my eyes and it was gone.
I felt exactly like Peter when he walked on the water. For when he was startled he lost faith and sunk. I experienced that last night! I just hope that as I continue this trip and this life, I would be able to harness this faith and not be surprised when God shows up...
