Back to Life...Back to Reality

Well...life on the road was fun, but I haven't been traveling since about the last week of August. I had an amazing Summer, and if I was asked to do it all again, I think I would say YES! I got to see so much of the US and meet so many amazing people. God definitely brought me out of my comfort zone and into His. I mean he knows I can do all things in and through him :) So...where am I now...I am currently living in Tennessee(outside of Nashville) I am living with a pastor, his wife, and his four children(all under the age of four) I originally planned to go to Brazil as a missionary in September, but God has other plans. I was not able to obtain a VISA to get into the country(yet) but I plan on going in January. So, it was a huge blessing that this family in Tennessee in which I've known for five years was willing to open up there home to help me out while I am waiting to go to Brazil. The biggest thing God has been teaching me lately has been his provision in my life. God always provides...and his word says "And my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus." I have a lovely home that I am able to live in while raising more support for Brazil. God is providing me my needs! I no longer have a car, but when I need a ride, a ride is provided. When I am hungry, I have food, when I am thirsty I have a drink. Just the other day a woman from the church donated some of her clothes to me because they didn't fit her, I didn't have many fall/winter clothes, and guess what, she gave me sweaters :) God provided what I needed in my life through a member of my new church :) And when I moved in another woman donated personal items(shampoo, toothpaste, soap, etc) God provided my needs!! I don't know how I will ever have enough money to move to Brazil BUT I know God WILL provide ALL my needs. God is so faithful to come through on his promises. While I am here in Tennessee I had the opportunity to start a woman's Bible study, it has been so awesome, I never thought I had the gift of teaching, but God is using me! I simply just want to love the woman because I know God loves me!! I love my new bible study. I get to help in the nursery at church on Wednesday and Sunday's. I have definitely been keeping myself busy. I am also still working on gathering financial support for Brazil too, so if you get a minute check out...http://modernday.org/modern-day-welcomes-marylou-moyer-brazil So, as I write this I am sitting in a friends office in his recliner. I got to a place a bit early after staying over at a friends, so I had a lot of luggage, and my next ride was due to come in an hour or so and it was raining so I couldn't be outside. I put my luggage in a corner when I was greeted by a friend, I told him why my stuff was in the corner but then joked and said "or I'm homeless and I need his corner to sleep in" and he jokingly said back "well if you were homeless we would find a place for you." But this was no joke, I learned that if I was actually homeless he would have found a place for me to stay, and I've found in the body of Christ that there are many willing to help, and this is such a HUGE blessing. Sometimes I have to put aside my pride, and ask the body of Christ for help, and they usually are so willing to help :) The body of Christ is such a blessing to me, and I am thankful for all my family and friends in Christ!! Keep me in your prayers as I am still on an adventure to Brazil (our team leader and family leave for Brazil this Thursday so pray for them too) and think and pray on this verse... Philippians 4:19 "And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in Christ Jesus."
