The Lord's purpose will prevail

Recently, there was a plot of land lent to MGM that will be used to plant a garden. On a Monday morning, Barb, Miguelina, two Dominican men, and I set out for this tiny "jungle" to turn it into something that looks more like a garden than a tropical forest. The first day, our speedy Dominican friends whipped out their machetes and tore down half of the weeds. After a lot of sweat, water breaks, and hard work, we cleared half of the land and then prayed over it. We are trusting that the Lord will direct MGM on how to use this specific plot of land to further His Kingdom and purposes. One possibility is to teach young women from the villages how to garden and grow certain food. It could also be used as a food supply for the missionaries there, or as a ministry for the teams that come down. Proverbs 19:21-"Many are the plans in a man's heart, But the counsel of the LORD, it will stand." How amazing to know that nothing can stand against God's plan. What He wills, will come to pass.
