Discouraged

Yesterday while reading a book by Dean Sherman this sentence struck me hard. "We are a generation of quitters.” Being with Paola and her family has been wonderful and they are showing me so much of Columbia. Deep down somehow I have become overwhelmed with the idea of going to Chile on the 14th. I just wanted to give up and go home to my family to what is familiar. In the book it said “Satan is in constant hope that God’s people will give up – that their circumstances, the task set before them, and the daily adversities of life will be to much for them to endure. I can see that all these emotions and doubts are not from God, but from the enemy. Thinking back I felt the same way about DTS. The week I spent with my relatives in Nevada by the end I just wanted to go home and forget about even starting DTS even though I knew it was God’s will. That time there were much less unknowns to traveling and language.
