Prayer Request

I just spoke with Elise, the other girl who was going to Serbia, and the Lord has made it clear to her that she should not go this year. While I am sad that she won't be there, I am also glad that she is following the leadings of the Spirit. She wanted to be there more than anything, and for her to step down is a big step. 

I don't know what this means for me, however. I am now the only girl going, and I don't know how that will work, or even if it will. I might just live with a family for a while before finding roommates, or something else could happen, I just don't know. Please pray with me for guidance and wisdom in this. And pray for Elise as she figures out what she will do this year and that the Lord would comfort her in her decision. Pray that the people in charge of STINTers will make wise choices, and that everything would work out according to God's plan. 

If this isn't where God wants me, I am confidant that He will make my way straight and let me be ok with where I am. My dad is taking this hard, he sees it as another reason not to trust people, rather than another way to trust in God to take care of our needs. I am praying that he will be able to see my sense of calm with this and see the peace I have with it, and realize that it's not naivete that is fueling it, but peace in knowing that God is in control and will work everything together to achieve His will. At this point, I just have to let go and let God.
