Let Go and Let God

I want to invite you to my blog to learn and stay updated about what God is doing in my life.

As you may know I had been teaching English for a private homeschool in Myanmar for the past 6 years.  Though I have enjoyed this job, I decided to move on to what God has been putting on my heart the last couple years.

Since I resigned from my previous work God has been faithful in reassuring and directing me to His purposes.

During the first week after my resignation, I had a lot of doubt and thoughts of going back to my previous teaching job which provided a salary and my visa.  This was because I was afraid of the possibility of having to leave Myanmar.

On March 8th, while I was having my quiet time, I read Matthew 6:24b "You cannot serve both God and Money." I realized that I had been using my own power and strength through my working (serving Money) in order to live and serve in Myanmar.

Next I read 6:33 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."  By giving up my job I was seeking God first and I was so encouraged that his promise is that all these things will be given.   I had finally let go and let God.
 and 6:34, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own."  From that day I have had peace about being fully in God's hands.


I flew home March 28th and had the pure joy in surprising my whole family.  My very good friend Helen Shaw helped by picking me up and bringing me home.  Surprising my family was the most fun I've had in a very long time.
