I've been reading this book, Mao's Last Dancer, and I was appalled at the poverty communism caused in China. People had no food, people had no money, and people died because the government took over their lives, and they had no power to go against it.
As I was handing in my support for my upcoming Jamaica trip, I was amazed by how generous my family, friends and church family has been over these last few months as I was raising support. In just a few short months, I have raised all the support I need to take this trip. People gave generously, and showed their support for what I'm doing, and for what God has been doing in my life recently. And as I sat down to write thank you cards for those who gave to my trip, I was humbled at the amount I had to write. All these people want to see God's kingdom furthered through me and this trip! Talk about pressure!
Their ability to give, and this book I'm reading I'm sure is no coincidence. God wanted to show me how much we have. To show me that He has given us everything we need.
