sent by 2

In Luke 10, Jesus sends out his disciples two by two to all the towns to do his work. We studied this passage one day in one of our classes as a little bible study. One of the things that really stuck out to me as we looked at the passage was the fact that Jesus sent them out by two. I have probably read this story a million times and never really noticed this before, but that day it really stuck out to me.
As i began this journey to return to Guatemala to work at NLCH, I thought it was going to be something I did alone(though not completely alone, I knew Jesus would be with me). This made me a little nervous, but I knew that God would supply what I would need to do it. As I continued on in working towards this school and fundraising for Guatemala, I met a girl(Colleen) through facebook who was also wanting to go back to the Children's Home after her internship last fall. We began to call each other and get to know each other a little bit as we both prepared for SOM, where we currently are studying. At the time I thought it would be nice to have a friend to do this with and I was excited to really meet her and get to know her. But after being here for a couple months now, I have found that she has been foundational to my ministry and being at this school. Without her, I'm not sure what I would have done. Jesus definitely knew what he was doing when he planned for us to do this together.
And as we dream together and plan for our ministry in Guatemala with the kids, its crazy how God just continues to use us together. Our goals and visions seem to line up and complete each others. It is something that we probably couldn't do alone, but together I think God is going to use us to really impact the kids.
I am so thankful that God has called us to do this thing together.  He knew exactly what he was doing when he planned for us both to come at this exact time. He calls us out by two. To encourage each other and partner together to really impact his kingdom. I am so thankful for Colleen and excited for what God is going to use us to do together. :)
