We had hoped that we would be moving to Singapore about this time, but earlier in the spring we knew that wouldn’t happen, that it wasn’t God’s timing.  Our original goals with HCJB Global were to be 100% funded by August and we’re at 40%.  It’s disappointing because not reaching a goal feels like failure, but when pursuing God’s work and God’s call, failure does not exist.  We only fail if we give up, if we give in the to the temptation to do what our flesh tells us to do instead of what God tells us to do.  God is continually revealing things to us and some things are possibly in the works that make God’s timing make a lot more sense than it did even a couple months ago.  We have known all along that things will happen in God’s timing and followed what He called us to do in the meantime.  Some of those things have left us confused and frustrated, some of those things have left us elated and exhilarated.  No matter how we FEEL, we know that God is present. He is real.  Sometimes we don’t feel like He is there, but following God isn’t about how what we feel, it’s about truth.  The truth is that’s God’s timing is perfect and His word says that He is always with us, He will never leave us, forsake us, or desert us.  While we are so anxious to be in Asia and serving God there, we know God has purpose for us being here and that in His perfect timing we will be there, serving Him, and laughing at ourselves for ever questioning His timing and ways.
