"Not called!'" did you say? "Not heard the call," I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help.

Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there.

Then look Christ in the face ~whose mercy you have professed to obey ~ and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world.

~giddy~

Last night I shared with one of my dearest friends that I had received my first real reply to my support letter. As I told her, her eyes lit up with giddy excitement. Her joy overflowed! All I could do at the time was laugh out loud. Now, it brings tears to my eyes.... the happy kind.

To come from a point where I wondered if this trip was financially feasible... where I wondered who would support me... where I began to doubt Gods hand in this... to come from there, to sitting out on the patio on a cool summer night watching my dearest friends eyes light up for something that had nothing to do with her... but rather something to do with Gods plan for me. It warmed my heart and made it smile. That is love.

My heart too is giddy with excitement for all God has done, and all He is going to do.
Thank you my dear friend.
