This week has been really great. I have gotten a lot closer to my fellow MSTs, I laughed so hard my abs hurt, ministry has been great, I haven't been homesick a lot, and God has just been so faithful to provide for all my needs.
Then.... this morning I woke up in extreme pain. I took medicine and went back to bed. As I was laying in bed (all morning) I just got madder and madder... Why was I in pain? If I am following what God wants me to do, why am I in pain? Why isn't God taking it away?
As I got up this afternoon, I was chatting with a couple of different people and praying. God just began to reveal to me words from scripture... My Grace is sufficient for you... I know the plans I have for you... I have established an everlasting covenant with you... I knew all your days before yet there was one...
God knows what is going on, He hasn't left me (even when I'm in pain). His grace is sufficient!
So as I look forward to what is coming next: Passion Kampala (I couldn't be more pumped!), Sunday I leave for Jinja to visit Canaan for a few days (I am praying for this to be a sweet time with the Lord, and a time of rest and spending time with kids that I love!!)
I appreciate your continued prayers as I deal with this illness.
until all have heard,
lauren michelle gross
