Come and See!

Some things I will never understand.  There are some questions I
have for God when I get to heaven, like “God, why couldn’t You just put
up a billboard with my life’s roadmap on it, so I would always know the
next step and always know why I go through things….”  God is so good! 
Looking back, even reflecting on my day today, He is so faithful and so
good!  Looking forward, I am living in complete sacrifice to Him,
trusting Him with everything I am and everything I’ve got.  It’s all I
can do for the God who gave His Son so that I could live. What an
AWESOME GOD we serve!

 

Looking back, from growing up, to going to college and majoring in
Ministries, to working at Wal-Mart, being a flight attendant, leading
worship, and working for a short term mission organization, it’s obvious
that God has had His hand on my life.  He’s brought me to this place
for a specific purpose yet to be revealed, but a general purpose that is
obvious:  to bring Him more Glory. 

 

So, here I go, walking in faith, trusting that the Lord will carry
me and guide me, and pointing to JESUS on this journey of my life.  This
journey is about to look a little different as I embark on something
new, something a little different.  “Dear God, I can’t help but worship
You in this moment, as I do not deserve to be called Your child, but You
chose me anyway.  You chose to bless me, not so I could just be
blessed, but so that I could declare Your glory among the nations. 
Lord, I want to glorify You and make Your name famous.  Thank you for
the honor and privilege of serving You in a new way.  Amen.”

 

 In January, I will be leaving Minnesota with a little and trusting
that God will take care of the rest.  I will be serving God, however He
calls in 11 different countries over 11 months.  This means that I
don’t necessarily know what I will be doing on a daily basis or even
exactly where I will be staying each night that I am serving.  One thing
I do know:  God has called me to this for a purpose.  It’s one of those
times when I don’t necessarily know what He is going to reveal to me
during this time, how He is going to stretch me or have me serve.  All I
know is that this isn’t about me, it’s about God and His glory.

 

 I am inviting you, my family, my friends, even people I don’t know
to join me on this mission.  This mission to reveal God’s glory among
the nations!  I will be posting to this blog as often as I can while I
am serving the Lord in many different capacities and would love for you
to be able to see how God is working among the nations through this
avenue.  Even as I am preparing to go, God is teaching me many things
that I would love for you all to be a part of!

 

Please, be praying for me as I am preparing to go and as I go.  My
heart is to draw the nations into worship of our AMAZING GOD!  I pray
that He will work in me, through me, and in spite of me…
