The Valley of the Sun

So on my recent trip to Phoenix I asked why people there refer to it as the "valley". I guess I didn't know that it's nick name was "The Valley of the Sun" because it sits relatively low and flat to the surrounding mountain ranges. It's beautiful to see the sun setting against the mountain silhouettes.

My trip was amazing and a huge answer to prayer. I have found a place to rent from a young girl my age who is a believer. She owns a house in Scottsdale and is leaving for a year to do missions in Mexico with TEAM. So many affirmations in our time together made it apparent that this was God's plan for both of us. So now I can check "housing" off the list of things to line up.

I also got to meet with the founder of Arab Women Today. She was a joy to spend 48 hours with and answered so many questions I had about women in the Arab world. Their website is so informative for those of you who would like to learn more visit: http://awtministries.com/english/main.php

It's so hard for me to keep in step with God and not get ahead. My heart is becoming more and more attached to what God is doing through GRM and it feels like living in two world's right now. Please pray that God helps me finish well here at VBC. There are great things happening here and I'm praying for people to rise up that I've invested in for years.

I also was able to meet with the GRM board and connect with some key people there. They are so excited to have me stepping in soon and I felt very valued during that time. Praise God for providing the ability to take this trip. It was his perfect time and he is doing so much for me that I could never accomplish on my own. "Praise God from whom all blessings flow!"
