At 5:30 this morning I left everything I love behind to start the adventure of what God has placed on my heart. It wasn’t easy saying goodbye, but I for sure know the reason behind it. God is so good and I’m so excited that I get to do this adventure with him and 48 others who love Jesus Christ just as much as I do!
Today is the first day! I left Lincoln Nebraska to make my way to Atlanta Georgia to continue to do some training before heading off to Swaziland. I had got asked to be the treasurer of my team. I’ll be dealing with all the finances and much more. This is another task that God wanted me to take charge of. It’s another thing to add on to my plate but it’s also another thing that is going to make me so much closer to God! As much as I could say I’m going to be stressed I know that my team and the others support me all the way. Today is the day I let God have full control over my life and see the world as he does.
I’m not scared or worried, but rather I’m excited
because I know who my God is I know what he has done and I know he can do it again. God has moved so many mountains in my life and I can use these stories to help me stay excited and proud of this calling that He has laid on my heart. Even though I just left my family behind and I’m sad about that, I know that over the course of this trip I’ll get to see my family again and I know that God is watching over them just like he is doing for me. People have asked me many times if I’m scared. There isn’t a reason for me to be scared. God says ” I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer, I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation” – Psalm 91:14-16
This might just be a bible verse to some but his is truth to me! I’ve seen it! If I get in his presence and word, I’ll continue to grow in him and there is nothing I need to be afraid of.
I’m hurting because I did just leave my family and friends behind so these next couple of days are gonna be hard so if you could just start off by praying for me in that area that would mean so much to me. Thank you for your giving to make this trip happen and for your thoughts and prayers. Love each and everyone of you
-as always, stay determined
