Amsterdam Calling

Today I received an e-mail from the ministry in Amsterdam that I will be working with next year. They are short of workers and want me to come a month early, meaning I would be there for 10 months instead of 9. I would start the beginning of August. This is something I must really think about and pray about. My knee jerk reaction is "Of Course!" because I am always ready to get on with the next adventure and this summer has been looking a little too long. But on the other hand the logical part of me screams, "You haven't started fundraising, you don't have the proper visas yet, you don't have the paperwork done yet, and you'll have to get your passport expediated because you need more visa pages." It is essentially those 4 things that hold me back from an instant "YES."

I really want to go. I want to say yes. And part of me thinks I should simply take this leap of faith that God will provide for me and just GO! But part me says that there is a difference between a leap of faith and a leap of foolishness and wonders if it is wise for me to go early? It is only a month. But a lot can happen in a month.

Please pray- for the wisdom to make the right choice, for all the paper work to go through as it needs to, and for the funds to come in irregardless of if I go early or not.
