God is good and His faithful love endures forever!!
Since our last post, the Lord has been giving us little tokens confirming our trip to Peru next month. We thought we'd share them with you.
God has a sense of humor!
We were watching a movie called Horse Crazy. The movie starts out with a teacher showing a video to her classroom of young kids. The video is about wild mustang horses in Nevada. Several kids fantasize and end up going to Nevada to try and catch a few of these horses and bring them home. ok so dot dot dot to the end of the movie. The scene is back in the classroom and the teacher is rolling the tv in front of the children again and this time she says "today we are going to watch a movie about the llamas in Peru". Ok... so maybe you had to watch the movie or maybe you just have to be us, but both Ken and I looked at each other and laughed.
Again, we sat down to watch a movie. This time we were watching a series of White Fang shows. White Fang is about a family who have moved out into the country and have a husky dog which is part wolf too. The show we happened to watch last, the son in the show Matt, was talking to a guy they just hired to do some labor on their farm. So Matt, starts asking him to name the capital of different states or countries.... and guess which one he asked him? What is the capital of Peru? The guy says, that's easy, it's Lima.
What are the chances of us watching two different movies over the past week and both of the movies indicate something about Peru?? I don't believe in coincidences. I believe God is confirming to us to go, in His way. He is good!
There have been some other confirmations.... God brought to us a great person who loves dogs and loves homes (his words). This was a huge hurdle to overcome. We have had the same dog/house sitter for 27 years. Unfortunately she is having knee replacement surgery and won't be able to stay this time. So we really needed this prayer answered first. And it was! Praise God!!
I was feeling a bit nervous about Peru because what I've been reading up on and hearing from my niece who lives there is that where we are going can be rough. Rough means - pick pockets and sometimes more violent crimes to tourist. Ok.. so for most of you that may be no big deal, but to me it's kind of scary. I asked the Lord to speak to me to reassure me and He gave me Acts 18:9-11 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision and told him, " Don't be afraid! Speak out! Don't be silent! For I am with you and no one will attack and harm you, for many people in this city belong to me.". So Paul stayed there for the next year and half, teaching the word of God. How cool is that??
We begin Spanish lessons this week. I believe that was another door opened for us as she has offered to do them for free. We have received several donations and we are extremely thankful. We have been able to get our immunizations (ouch). However, we are still in need of the cost of the plane tickets which have now gone up to $4900. I have to admit this is awkward for us - asking for support.. God is God and nothing is impossible for Him. So again, we ask you to please prayerfully consider supporting our ministry trip to Lima, Peru. Every little bit helps. (Details in post on http://wantinsight.blogspot.com.) Please also be in prayer - for favorable pricing on airfare, the flight schedule will be doable (as some of our preferred flight choices are filling up) and for continued healing and endurance.
