Today my heart broke for my country. The people live in such darkness and with no hope turn to things such as alcohol, drugs and promiscuity. There is no hope that they know of. I just learned that in one major city there is no church. There is actually not a church for 1500 miles. By now you may realize that I am not speaking of the US. No the country that pulls at my heart and at times I want to be there so bad it hurts is Russia. I can’t begin to express how I am feeling as I type this. You see there is an appeal to go to Siberia to help start a new work. The ironic thing is I always joke about how God made me to live in Siberia (I absolutely love the cold weather.)
The thing is I know, I know, I know with out a shadow of doubt that I am in the place that God wants me to be in right now. I know that He placed me where I am at for such a time as this. I know that the training and experience I am gaining is exactly what He wants so that I can be a blessing and further the Kingdom. Yet my heart hurts. Sometimes being in the will of God is not easy, at the moment I would much rather be making plans and getting on a plane. But I can have peace because I know God can feel what I feel and He is giving me a big hug right now.
If you have a chance go to the following link. Learn about the opportunity and pray for labors. And please promise me that if God tugs at your heart and you can go that you will contact the Carpenters.
