I have really been battling frustration the past couple of days. I have been overwhelmed thinking about all that needs to be done in preparation of this trip, thinking about raising funds, and just trying to figure how to even pack my stuff. In the midst of all this, God began reminding me that He is the one that called me to this and His hand is upon every detail. I am realizing that all I have been doing is focusing on myself instead of lifting all my frustrations up the One who can do anything about it. My boyfriend is in Israel on a mission trip right now, and while I was trying to encourage him with a verse, I realized that God was giving it to me as well. Colossians 3:15 says, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.” My mind has not been at peace lately because I was focusing on all the wrong things. I know that everything is going to come together in God’s perfect timing. It is when I get distracted and focus on myself instead of on the One who has called me that frustration takes the place of peace in my heart. It’s all about trust in Him, and he is bringing me back to that place right now.
