We had our Bible study with one of our ladies, Lenny, and right away I noticed another lady, who I had never seen before. After we were done they told me it was Lennys sister-in-law, Charrevette. She looked like she was getting ready to leave but I asked if I could share with her for a few minutes. I shared the gospel and she chose to accept!

Not only have these Bible studies allowed us to further the gospel but it has been teaching me and growing me as well! The topics have been for new believers and how to grow in their relationship with God. Some of the topics were the Holy Spirit, prayer, and memorizing scripture, all of which have been an encouraging reminder for me to take advantage of these in my Christian walk!

Last night I was struggling with my thoughts about coming back to America. What will I do? Where will I work? What is the next step? I started to pray and ask God to help me trust Him with my future. I went to go study the next lesson that I would be sharing for today and sure enough the lesson was on "Trusting God". It's not just a one time decision when we choose to follow Christ- but a continual action in our everyday lives. One of the verses in the lesson is Psalm 33:18- But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love.

God is carefully watching over those who fear and trust Him! I began to think about one of the characteristics in this verse- God's unfailing love. I started to think about other characteristics of God, He is compassionate, forgiving, merciful, just, provider, trustworthy, etc. The more we know God and His characteristics the easier it is for us to trust Him. We will have nothing to fear when we realize who He is.
