         You've been so busy gathering, preparing, and working towards this great challenge in your life of going to a new mission field. Your desire is to please Me and to be used by Me to reach many. But love is the most important thing, and now I am meeting your needs and hearing your prayers--maybe in a way that you did not expect. What I am doing is in answer to your prayers to prepare your hearts and make you the missionaries that you really want to be, to bring forth much fruit. This may be the most difficult of all the challenges you've faced yet, because I'm asking you to sit still and to be quiet before Me. I'm asking you to let Me work on your hearts.
         Crossing the ocean will not make a missionary of you if there are things in your heart that need to be prepared and changed, so you may be broken and remade, to build a solid foundation, one that will last through any storm of life. This is what I am doing now. So take courage and trust in Me. Just live for one day at a time. The end result will be glorious, and you will know that I do all things well.
