Ok so a lot has happened since my last blog and rightly so, it has been 5 months since my last post! oops!! 🙂
So the main and most important thing to know is I am NOT I repeat NOT in Guatemala right now!! I switched routes back in October and now I am leaving in July on Route 3.
I switched because God is good! And while He does like to stretch us and take us out of our comfort zones I don't believe He likes to kill us in the process! 😉 I am a bit of a planner and I like to have LOTS of time to make those plans. And leaving in a few months was stressing me out and I had so much to do I was overwhelmed and so instead of doing things and making progress I did nothing. God heard my pleas and so here I am heading now to: Ireland, Ukraine, Russia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, India, Nepal, Cambodia, Asia Challenge, and Malaysia. And I am SO PUMPED!!
Ok now that we have the logistics out of the way lets get down to the nitty gritty(said like Nacho Libre)
So for the past couple of months I have been so worried about going on this trip, I have seriously considered backing out. It was like a dang roller coaster ride. I was up and excited and ready to go and then I was down scared out my mind and others times I felt like hurling while going through a corkscrew over and over and then going backwards through it. But, I came to a startling realization last night, one that the Father has brought me to before, IT'S NOT ABOUT ME!!!!! (you would think at some point this lesson would stick) It is about His glory! And His glory being made know throughout the world. The only reason any of this is happening is because He said who will go for me? And I said yes, had I have said no God would have moved on and found someone else to carry out His plans. So knowing that I really have nothing to do with this and that all I have to do is be obedient, I'm not as scared. Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all people! Psalm 96:3
