“Rest in God. He is able to keep that which you have committed to Him. If you will leave yourself in His hands, He will bring you off more than a conqueror through Him that has loved you” (Steps to Christ 73).
I’m going to be honest with you at this moment in time I don’t feel as if I am really needed at Bangla Hope. Since I just arrived I don’t really have a job set up for me (although they are telling me that I will be teaching English and a few other subjects soon). The only thing that is keeping me going is the realization that Jesus put me here for a reason.. whatever that may be.
When I was leaving for Bangladesh I was worried that my bags that were too heavy might have to be emptied of some of the precious cargo they carried. I was several pounds over according to my grandpa’s scale and it was stressing me out. My mom and Grandma prayed with me about it and later when I would bring something up about it my mom would simply say “Chantel, you gave it to Jesus. Leave it in His hands.” In turned out that we were actually 4 pounds under!
Now I am here and I feel overwhelmed and stressed but I have forgotten that I have committed myself to Jesus and now I may rest in Him. Isn’t it amazing that we have a God who cares so much about us.

when you feel overwhelm, think back on how God lead you to where you are now. Think in the miracles ways He open the doors for you and how much He is taking care of you. I do not remember what book was that I read this be Ellen White said that we need to focus on the roses not the thorns, therefore think of the wonderful things God is doing and what a privilege is that you are actually working with Him! :D
