Postponed

Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. (Proverbs 15:22)
commit your plans to the lord and they will succeed (Proverbs 3:5)
rejoice in the lord always (Phil 4:4)
In no way did I feel ill prepared for the Bolivia trip this winter. In fact, I felt encouraged along every step. I was supported and given just enough information that I felt God was directing my steps. So it is with confusion and disappointment that the trip was cancelled/postponed for the winter. I know it is not my place to question God, and this particular case seems quiet clear.
God please make your plan clear through this whole mess. My energy toward this goal seems wasted. I know you lord are not a high that I should chase, but a constant strength and endurance. (James 1:17) You said you came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10); that it is sick that need a doctor (Matt 19:12). Direct my energy toward your people and how best to serve. May I rejoice in your clarity and may I run the race for which you have called me (Heb 12:1). May I not loose heart but instead be confident in all things that you work for the good of those that love you and are called according to your purpose (Rom 8:28).
Help me to continue and to focus on you.
Many are the plans in my heart Lord, but it is your will that prevails. (Proverbs 19:21)
Delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalms 37:4)
Psalm 40:1-4
