So a few months ago I began to feel extremely convicted with my next step in life. I was convinced that I would come home and go to Nursing School and that was God’s call on my life. I still believe that to hold true but God has other plans for me at this time. I chose to apply for the World Race which is an 11 month mission trip that goes to 11 countries. I decided if this is where God wants me then I will get accepted and if not then he will quickly close the door. As of a month ago I was accepted and there was no way that I could say no to God. He has entrusted me again with spreading his gospel and calling me to a missionary position for another season of my life. I will be leaving in September, just two months from when I return home.. scary! This trip has 5 routes to choose from, the route I chose ended up filling up so currently I am on a wait list, if a spot doesn’t open then they will place me where the need is. I chose this way because I know that God will have the choice instead of me doing what I want to do. Tentatively I will be traveling to; Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, India, Nepal, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. I am just thrilled to see how God will use this experience to shape me and grow me into exactly who he wants me to be. My desire is to serve our God and I am getting that chance first hand. With this naturally there will be a cost, so I will have to fundraise again just as I did for my current trip to Africa. I have already spent time in prayer, praying God will move hearts and that I will be able to totally trust in him to provide all that I need for this trip. There will be much more time spent in prayer as I embark on fundraising and just being prepared, but we serve a mighty God. It is a scary thing to think of and to even try and wrap my head around, honestly I am 100% terrified, but my friend Caroline said it best, “God gave you the opportunity so that is him saying that he’s got you covered on the rest.” What truth. I know that the maker of the Universe can provide me with more than enough and give me exactly what I need not only financially but spiritually as well in order to carry out his works. Cannot wait to see this crazy chapter unfold.
