trust

random thoughts

The only scary part about leaving the country for me would be the feeling I get that I can't be there for me family or friends back home if "something happens". As soon as I get dropped off at the airport and step onto the plane, I no longer have my cell phone or car or whatever else I would need to rush to them or watch out for them. Is this because I am the oldest child? I don't know. Anyway, I realize that I can and should trust in God. I want to be like this woman in Proberbs 31, "strength and dignity are her clothing and she smiles at the future". Not be afraid of it.

Hallelujah! I give it to You, Lord.

In other news, God is soooooooooooooooo cool. I am not sure why in the world I get surprised when I pray for something and it happens, but I do. Thank you Jesus for what you are doing.


Sorry for the vagueness!

I got a wisdom tooth pulled today. It still freaks me out. I can show you it :).

Goodnight...

TWO days until Scotland....

Scotland is only a week away! That is pretty exciting. Today was great and it really confirmed many things in my heart. God's will for me is to raise support and minister full-time. That is exciting! That is really, all I've ever wanted to do (besides being a lawyer, artist, judge, and many other random things in elementary school).

Anyway, praise God that He does just leave us hanging, but confirms what He has told us through the Word and other people.

While in Scotland, I am really believing for God to
1.use me to mentor others on our team and to help them "step out" and grow spiritually and grow more and become more intimate with the Lord and 2.use me to minister to many different "types" of people--that they would be saved and specifically healed of many different heart issues (more specifically, Agnes' [an 18? year old Scottish/Danish girl that I led to the Lord and has been seriously serving God since] friends and school mates.

Please keep these things in your prayers. Also, please feel free to email me. i will have email in Scotland. lindsaymcgee@gmail.com

Bless you on every side!

Scotland update email.

Dear family and friends,

I hope you are encouraged to know that your prayers are being answered and God is (still, as always) faithful! I want to share with you something that has been encouraging me throughout this process of trusting God to provide for my Scotland trip.

It’s kind of like a father telling his 10 year old son, “we’re going to Grandma’s house!” and the young boy worrying about how he is going to afford his plane ticket to see Grandma. That’s ridiculous. The father is telling him that he is going. It’s pretty obvious that he is going to provide. To be worried would be very silly. [Thank you for this analogy, Melissa!]

After 6 mission trips, I still have to make a choice (over and over) to have faith. God IS still faithful. He never changed. I hope this encourages you to have faith that whatever God calls you to, he will provide for. To worry would be silly. Completely trusting God seems risky, but it’s the safest place we can be.

Matthew 7:7-11 says, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! “

I leave in only ten days and I only have a few hundred dollars left to raise. Needless to say I am so excited. I am praying that God moves and has His way in Edinburgh and with our team.

Thank you so much for all of your prayers and financial support. Thank you for being a part of God’s work in my life and in Scotland. I pray God would bless you in every way and you would take the “risk” of completely trusting in Him.

God bless you!

Lindsay

PRAYER.

I want to be a woman of prayer. I want to be a woman that God can "rely" on to wake up early to pray and to stay up late praying. I want to be one who prays throughout the day. I want to be one who believes what she prays and prays big prayers that require "great faith". I want to be woken up in the night with God given burdens and pray (not just fall back to sleep). I want to take the Word seriously and pray what it says.

...I am a work in process! =o)
(much process)
