Guys it is one day until I leave for Ecuador! It’s one day until my one day! What I mean by that is I’ve always wanted to go on a mission trip, but I always said maybe one day. I put it off because doubt and fear always crept into my mind. Friends we cannot give into fear so easily! I’ve really had to trust the Lord in this journey. I mean TRUST TRUST (Like I need you to bring $1250 in 7 days kinda trust). And God did what he promised. Friends if there is a desire or passion in your heart to do missions, pursue a friend, start a ministry, etc. that isn’t there by chance. That’s something that the Lord has placed in your heart. PURSUE IT!!! I’m mainly preaching to myself right now because I always give into fear as it lies to me about the “what ifs”. God whispered to me in the season “but what if it all works out?” What if you started fostering kiddos like you said you’ll do one day? What if you start that business that you’ve always wanted to? I can’t say it enough pursue these callings! You gotta take a leap of faith and truly rely on the Lord.
This quote has spoken so much truth into me when I began to doubt this trip
“If you feel like God is calling you to do something, whether that’s just a small part of your day or a life mission, you have to follow that voice. When we build a track record of listening to the Holy Spirit, we start to realize that God never gets it wrong. The biggest blessings we’ll receive in life come from letting him lead. But so many of us hop off the ride prematurely (or worse, never get on at all), because in the moment it feels uncomfortable and risky. This is where we need to understand who God really is. If our view of his character is off, we’re never going to trust him. But if we truly believe that’s he a good Father, then we’ll be able to muster up the courage to follow His voice, wherever it goes.”

Trust him. Take a risk. Trust him again. Let go of control. Continue to trust him. If you haven’t hopped on the trust roller coaster with him yet, the time is now. I’ve seen so much fruit in the season because I had to let go of control and trust that he provide the funding. Haha sorry, I just felt this being placed on my heart to share. Thank you guys so much for getting me here. I cannot wait to go to training camp tomorrow and start this journey. I couldn’t do it without you guys. Thank you for turning my one day into today.
