Change Gonna Come

At certain times in my life I have recognized that something needed to change.  At other times I've had a sense change was coming, not necessarily knowing what specific change would take place, just sensing change itself. 

Change is inevitable in this ever-moving, ever-changing world.

Ecclesiastes 3:1
To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven...

What causes us to be afraid of change, afraid of different, something new?  Possibly its the unknown, the not being in control.  But we can't even know what is best for us, we may think we do but it's just not possible.  So if only God knows and wants the best for us, why worry about change?

Wesley Home for Youth is growing and changing in its family dynamics.  And a bigger change is upon us.  Building.  A new building, the addition of more children...  And while I am SO excited I am also SO nervous.  Land has already been donated, we just need to raise funds for the structures themselves.

This is when change also takes faith.  Faith that God loves us and wants to protect us.  We believe He wants WHY to continue growing and thriving for the children of the Philippines.  He has proven that His hand is on the ministry by opening doors and providing for the children in our care.

In the next few days you will see an area on the blog where you can donate to our building fund. We are aware that the fundaising and building will take some time to complete but we are ready to start!

Ephesians 2:10 
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.


Thankful, Sheryl
