Struggling Well With Life

Ever stand in front of an overwhelming need and wonder what you could possibly offer that would make a bit of difference>?  I met a woman in Ethiopia, who believed God was calling her to care for prostitutes, and when she began moving in that direction was paralzed by the overwhelming need, issues, and obstlaces.  God led Cheri to Ephesians 3:20 and she began trusting that God would do far more than she could hope or imagine - and He did.  She fearfully pursued a friendship with two women which moved her far out of her comfort zone, and exposed her to the dark side of life that so many women face day in and day out.  Now, years later, she and others like her, have rescued hundreds of women.  Two things strike me.  God does far more than we can hope or imagine, and He long for us to simply respond to His leading.
