Uruguay...or Bust!

This is the first time that I've actually written about Uruguay...I think. It's been a while since I've WRITTEN anything at all. Happy New Year's, by the way... Anyway, Matt leaves for (our beloved) Venezuela and Uruguay on Friday. We are asking the Lord for two things on this trip: 1) that God would make it VERY CLEAR that we are proceeding correctly in going to Uruguay, and 2) WHERE in Uruguay to set up our home/ministry. I was going to go with Matt (that was our desire), but the logistics of care for FIVE children going to school, sports events, etc., etc. was too daunting. So... Mom holds down the fort while Dad seeks the Lord's will regarding Uruguay. These past days I've really, really MISSED Venezuela. It is really cold here...I miss warm, sunny Maracay. Venezuela is a warm, happy place. Four words I saw in my morning meditation in Psalm 37: 1) Trust ~ this is hard when things don't make sense. 2) Delight ~ in the Lord; not too hard after what He has done for me! 3) Commit (your way) ~ my way without the Lord is lost anyway! 4) Rest ~ simple; just rest. As I was meditating on the words of my "new" favorite song, "The Power of the Cross", I told the Lord, "After all you've done for me, is it too great a sacrifice for me to give up my will (Venezuela)?!" Pray for us, friends.
