I understood that signing up for an 11 month missions trip would test me. It would put me in a position where I would be changing every aspect of my daily life. Not going to lie some part of me fully believed that the changes God would be making in my life wouldn’t start until January 1, 2019. But boy was I wrong, the emotions and spiritual warfare have already started. The devil is already creeping in with thoughts of who do you think you are? What makes you so special? Are you really worth all of this money you are asking others to sacrifice for you? Thoughts that through various situations God has graciously answered with you are my child, I am what’s special and my gospel is worth it.
Through all of these moments it has really opened my eyes to the fact that this process will not be just an 11 month change. It all started April 7th 2018, The day I submitted my application for the World Race. I am looking forward to how close I will be to my Savior, looking to Him to be my constant. I know that my life will be changed drastically for the better, but I also know that this will not happen if even now in my time of comfort I don’t start reaching for my Lord. To cling to Him with all that I have. I also love that my Lord is reaching for me, waiting for me to come to Him. He is here wanting to have a relationship in the times when you have a clean bill of health, the kids are actually listening for the moment, and you are at peace in your time of wait. God doesn’t deserve for us to rely on Him for the 911 moments. He wants to be a part of your life like any loving father does. Cling to Him, like your life depends on it. Welcome the change He wants to make in your life. Leave a comment about how you are clinging to Christ right now! I’d love to hear how God is working in your life!
