Well it has been confirmed. We will spend the whole duration of our trip at Shepherd's Field (which is through the Philip Hayden Foundation). I am very excited to see what the Lord will do here. This is home to more than 100 special needs orphans. Our leader Natalie had some very encouraging words as she said that the Lord must have things for us to accomplish here. She said her devotional verse this morning was Romans 8:28- "We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Isn't it great that we serve a God that makes plans for us and they always turn out better than the ones we try and make for ourselves? I forget this sometimes when my plans don't turn out the way I wanted them to or thought they would. But then the Lord revels it to me and I always ask myself "why was I trying to take so much control of that situation myself?" Thank you Lord for planning this trip the way you want it to go!
