kelseyhinkley - Changing with the Seasons

Do you ever have this feeling that just when you think you know where your life might be going for a little while, it changes...? Well, I must be special or something, yea something alright. I just wrote a nice blog about heading off to India in a few months and now I must tell you, I will not be going.

First off let me start by saying how much I've felt your prayers heavy over the past few weeks...I've really needed them. I will not be going to India with the Novas Project because after much thought, prayer, and careful decision making, AIM has decided to not proceed with this program. The Lord just does things we don't understand sometimes...that doesn't mean we're not disappointed or frustrated; we just have to trust and obey. (That is a fantastic hymn!) :-)

Here is what I feel that the Lord is doing in my life currently. I feel as though He is testing my obedience. "Kelsey, if I say go, will you go?" I recall responding with, "Yes, but I think I will drag my feet." Sure I was excited about India and about a new adventure but I desire to plant and grow somewhere and make an impression and a difference somewhere. I know I discussed concerns about feeling too comfortable here and honestly I cannot say what the Lord is going to do in me to change that but I am seeking Him for that path. A path of constant change and growth toward becoming a strong, God fearing woman.

So I would ask that despite another quickly changing season, you would still partner with me in serving as a full time Missionary here in Georgia serving the Kingdom. The work that is done daily by the staff here in the office is vital to AIM and it's success. Missionaries can both be serving on foreign soil and typing behind a desk. I have chosen to continue on serving here with AIM, would you stand behind me and this ministry and continue to support me with your love, prayers and finances?

Love you all! See you in about two weeks when I'm home for Thanksgiving!!!
