Today I was sitting outside having my Jesus time when I looked up and saw one of the most breathtaking images. The sun was shining through the clouds and shining on mountains upon mountains. It was an incredibly beautiful sight and I found myself asking the question why am I here?
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE being here. I have fallen in love with this country as well as the people. I asked myself that question because I feel so undeserving to be Honduras. It has been such a humbling experience to be here and to be able to serve on the World Race.
I still can hardly believe that this is my life now. Every morning I wake up in my tent and my first thought is WOW!!! I am so blessed! I keep feeling like all of this is just a dream and that I am going to wake up and be back in America. That is a small glimpse of how much I love it here!!!
Thankfully, God called me here not because of my abilities or of my own doing, but for His glory. I was reading Ephesians 3 and the words Paul wrote resonated so deeply in my spirit. He said:
“I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of Gods’ grace given me through the working of His power. Although I am less than the least of all God’s people, this grace was given to me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. This came as a real surprise. When it came to presenting the Message to people who had no background in God’s way, I was the least qualified of any of the available Christians. God saw to it that I was equipped, but you can be sure that it had nothing to do with my natural abilities.”
Amen to that! I am here all because of God and although I feel as though I am not worthy, God tells me that I am. Thank you Father, for your abundant love and for having faith in me.
