If July was a month for pushing, August was a month for plodding.
In July, we reached some audacious goals by the grace of God. We made good connections with friends and family. We saw God provide in literally miraculous ways.
And in August, we plodded.
Yes, the Lord did great things (that's what He does, after all). He kept our family healthy. He provided for our van to be repaired. He continued to bring new partners onto our team. But more than anything, it felt like this verse summed us up better than any other:
Galatians 6:9
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
We've been on pre-field for about 17 months now. That's 17 months of plodding as we pray and ask God to move on our behalf, to devleop the team He has in mind for us. And y'all, it would be so easy to become weary.
We are so encouraged to know that, even in the plodding, God is growing something under the surface. We can't see it yet, but in His timing, it'll pop up and bloom.
Lord, help us be faithful and not grow weary.
