So this past week, Dustin and I have experienced certain things that have tried to make our lives harder. For instance, we are trying to sell Dustin's truck so we could use that money towards the World Race. But instead of it going smoothly, a scammer found our add. So for the past few days we have been dealing with that person… they don't seem to get the hint that we are not going to sell the truck to them and get scammed. This past week has been stressful and it seems like everything is coming against us when it comes to going on the World Race.
When we went to church this past weekend, the pastor was talking about how when you are following God and His leading, things seem to pop up in life to try to stop you. That it is easier to follow the easy road. That it is easier to be comfortable than to step out in faith. When the Pastor was talking I just kept thinking, "wow, this is our life. It would be soo much easier to stay here, not to raise money, get a car instead of relying on our car that seems like it's on the edge of falling apart. It would be so much less stressful not to think about all of the things that need to be done for this trip."
But I know that this trip, to go on the World Race, is where God wants us. Both of Dustin's and my heart is to serve God. And I know that God is going to use this trip to connect us with people that will help guide us to where God wants us full time. Who knows, through this trip, God could show us the exact ministry overseas to get involved with. We could meet the people and ministry over there and then decide that is where we are supposed to be. Instead of just picking a country and trying to make things happen, God could use this trip to just show us as we work as a team doing ministry what He has planned for us.
So even if life seems difficult and worry starts to creep in, I know that our hearts are in the right place and so we will continue to believe in God and that He will provide financially and emotionally as we get ready to go and while we are overseas. 🙂
