“
When will men learn that God is God, not man, and that He does not change? EVERY calamity, EVERY death, is a witness to the POWER OF EVIL and to the truth of the living God. The Word of God is life, and it will abide forever. Through all eternity it will stand fast. How can man, knowing what God is and what He has done, choose Satan's way instead of God's way? There is only one path to Paradise restored,—the path of obedience. -
Signs of the Times, January 25, 1910, par. 18

Ill Equipped

I have just been temporarily transferred over to Longreach for work and am locked into a six week contract. This is the first time I've ever gone away from family and friends to a place where I don't actually know anybody. I'm overwhelmed by a sense of loneliness and I just feel totally lost. 

Though, I believe that God has brought me here for a reason. Longreach is a small town west of Brisbane. Far out west. They have a number of Churches here but, to my disappointment, there don't seem to be any Adventists around. So.. Feeling a bit lost and out of place.. I would still like to witness in some way but feel so ill equipped.. And INCREDIBLY lonely.

Growing up in a family of 8, I'm really not used to being alone. I thought this trip would be a great experience being away from family and friends and finding my own footing.. Ive only been here since this morning and I must say, I'm feeling quite homesick. 

Please pray for me. I have experienced, in the past week or so, a desire for Christ's return that I have never felt before. I just want to go home. This world holds nothing for me. 

The message must be preached and I desire to carry it... I really do just feel that I am very ill equipped for this mission. Your advise and prayer would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

: )
