I cannot believe it is really 2 days before launch. I still remember the day I told God I was open to whatever he wanted me to do. I also remember the day of July 2016 I decided to give up everything and trust him. That actually was the best feeling and decision I could have made. No one day have I had a regret. God is worthy of all.
I have so many feelings happening inside me at this moment. I feel like I cannot even eat, sleep, nor concentrate knowing I am leaving things unfinished here at home. I feel so anxious and nervous. I need to re-enter back to my place called PEACE. God please grant me the peace I need. I have been doing good the entire time while prepping for this until now. This has become so real. It is amazing how our minds will take over us and steal our peace and joy. For someone who likes to plan and is very OCD, now I see how it is affecting me. Need to remind myself..GOD IS IN CONTROL. If he put me through this, he will get me through it (just had an aha moment). As I was writing this, God had me stop for a moment and look up. I realized I had not really spent time talking to him but spent more time worrying and stressing. As I looked up, I saw a picture on the wall that stated:
And we know that in all things GOD works for the GOOD of those who LOVE HIM, Who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
I am grateful for all God’s faithfulness. He has always been there every moment I have needed him. Even at the last minute he has come through. BUT WHY the last minute?????? This has been one of the biggest lessons I have had throughout this journey. TRUST GOD!!! Now I just need to remind myself of this and let it be. I know deep inside my heart everything will be just fine. I thank God for always speaking to me when I need it the most. His LOVE is unconditional and no matter what we do he will always be there.
PUTTING MY FAITH AND TRUST IN GOD!!!!! I feel so much better. God does answer this fast. LOVE IT!!!!
I am thankful for all the people who have supported me and helped me get this far. If it was not for all the supporters I would not be getting in a plane heading out to Atlanta in 2 days ready to continue this wonderful journey full of life’s lessons. Definitely have learned quite a few. Being more humble, putting pride to the side, true LOVE, family support, being happy with the minimum and many more to come.
God has placed in your heart to support this Mission trip and know you too are part of it. May he continue blessing every single person. know that you are not taken for granted. I wish I could show you how much you are appreciated, but I will let God take the credit because he sees your heart and he will bless and repay you more than I could ever do.
Please continue being part of this journey and we will all grow together.
