This is something that I have struggled with for my whole life…….TRUST GOD!
When I first moved to college I knew nobody there. I love having friends dearly (even though mine tend to be out of the ordinary) so this was extremely difficult for me. I was talking to a campus ministry staff member about this and he gave me one piece of advice……"TRUST GOD". I was leaning more on my relationships with others than my relationship with God.
I spent my summers in college serving with a youth ministry organization leading youth camps. I had felt God's calling on my life to serve as a missionary, but I had never acknowledged it. It was difficult to let go of everything I thought I was going to do and let Him work. TRUST GOD!
I have known for the past 6 months or so that God was calling me to a new phase of ministry. I had no idea where or with who though. I have some friends who have done the World Race and some people had mentioned it to me so I thought I would check it out. I was also exploring some other options at the time as well so I just prayed that God would give me an overwhelming peace about which direction was the next step.
That next step is the World Race. So I will leave in January 2014 to travel to 11 countries in 11 months to speak and show the love of Christ to all I come in contact. It will be a very exciting journey and I know I must TRUST GOD and His plans for me.
So now, I present you with a challenge. What is it that you need to TRUST GOD with? It's so difficult to let go of your plans and trust in His plans. But I have learned that His plans have been far better than any of mine. I pray that you see that and turn everything over to Him.
"And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you." Psalm 9:10
