Fear Not I Will Pilot Thee

This past week has been a roller coaster. I was challenged in decisions I had made and questioned where God had placed me. What I do know: 1. God has given me a heart and desire to love and live among the Romanian people. 2. He has called me to Invest and be invested in at Mosaic indefinitely, as a part of the process of returning to Romania. 3. He has shown me that I have not had “open hands” with returning to Romania for a month in the Fall and that I must trust him completely regardless of what happens.

Realizing that I was holding too tightly, I released that which I hold dear, and felt an overwhelming sense of relief. At church on Sunday, we sang, Jesus Savior Pilot Me and I realized that this week’s response was not trusting God and living by faith. As we sang, tears came to my eyes as I heard God whisper to me the line, FEAR NOT I WILL PILOT THEE.

Fear Not I Will Pilot Thee, and so he has…piloted me… Today I got the approval to spend two weeks out of the office in late October. Of course, I will be returning to Romania for those two weeks! I will be spending time in country with the missionaries, Phil & Adinela and David, and connecting with the children, youth and families in Marga. I feel overwhelmed by his goodness and his graciousness, gaining far more than I ever deserve.

Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

He certianly has made my paths straight.

O Praise Him,
All This
