In eight short days I will be getting ready to leave for an eleven month journey around the world with God (and some pretty amazing squadmates). This past week has been filled with many farewells and see you laters and some tears shed here and there. One thing that has begun coming up often is the question of how I feel as launch draws closer. Usually people give the typical answers to their own question- excited and nervous/anxious.
Excited: yes.
Nervous/anxious: nope.
It kind of surprises me but not really. I know, I truly believe, that God has called me to this trip and set my feet on this path. How? Just like the title says, His perfect peace. As I have prepared in different ways these days, I have felt excitement and anticipation, but also a sort of normalcy (in a good way this time). It honestly feels like I’m just going about my life as usual. Nothing crazy or different happening, and you know what, in some ways that’s true. I am about to go about life as normal, it just so happens I will be doing it in eleven different countries. It should also feel completely normal to be going about my Father’s business because that is what I’m supposed to be doing.
When you are in the will of God it should feel right. Notice I didn’t say easy, just right. Life is hard, there will be times I want to give up, but as long as I have the peace that passes all understanding down in my heart (where ;)) then I will keep pushing through to the higher calling!
Through Christ,
Brooke
