It’s night one of Launch and as hard as I have tried to deny it or pray it away…
I am sick.
In efforts to not wake up my roomies from my cough and get rid of a little insomnia, I’ll blog.
The World Race is a little different than any trip I have ever been on. We don’t get schedules, we don’t get too much specifics on where or what we’ll be doing and sometimes that is a struggle.
When people like you ask what we’ll do in each country, I can get by with an assumption or being general, but I actually don’t know. When it come to where we’ll be staying I am just honest. I don’t know.
Eventually people catch on. My mom today stopped mid question with oh you don’t know and she was right, I didn’t.
It’s taken me a while to get to this point, but I am ok with I don’t know. I am good with being on a need to know basis with my life for the next 11 months. God has told me to trust the process.
You see these people at Adventure in Mission have done this a time or two. They have sent tons of young people just like me to do exactly what I am doing. Then after all is said and done they make changes. They grow, they adapt. Not to mention they are in prayer for the Lord’s direction through the planning and prep.
I trust the process.
Now when it comes to being sick, which is so rare, I am a little more antsy. I take medicine as little as possible and try to give it to God. As soon as I felt this most recent tickle in my throat I prayed. Yet here I am at 3 am so sick I can’t sleep.
I have to trust the process with God too. I have to trust his timing and his goodness. I don’t know why I was not healed the instant I prayed or why I am suffering when preparing to go on mission for him, but he does.
He is using this for some good. While right now I am uncomfortable and tomorrow I will be really tired I have to trust the process, and I’m good with that.
