Last Day in Chuuk

So I'm kind of blogging out of order. I have so much to fill you in on regarding my trip to Chuuk, but I just really feel like I need to write this down right now. I've just finished probably the only omelet I've ever loved, an English muffin, and a plate full of orange slices. The restaurant I'm staying at has good food. I love fish, rice, chicken, potato salad, taro, etc...but I don't think I can live off it.  God has definitely blessed me with being able to eat at Truk Stop at least two of my three meals a day. The other meal, with local food, has been awesome too. I've had some of the best chicken in my entire life out here- and Chuukese potato salad is better than any other kind for sure. Anyway, enough about food. I woke up this morning feeling anxious and nervous and whatever else-kinda-feelings that don't belong with me. I feel like, on my last day, I'm facing a lot of the spiritual demons that I've been protected from this whole time. I feel like I can be protected here one more day. The scripture that I've been reading is from Ephesians and I was so encouraged that I thought I'd share it on my blog.

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:1-2

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.  Ephesians 5:15-16

and Ephesians 6:10-20
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

God, thank You for the opportunities you've given me out here in Chuuk. Thank you for bringing people into my life to watch out for me, show me love, and keep me safe. Thank you for your many angels and blessings, especially Trishianne, Restme, and Evangeline. I pray for these girls as they are discovering Your will for their life. I love you Lord and I love Your perfect will.
