is
always the right will to follow!

When
we prayed into our ATL (Ask the Lord) month, we felt led to Croatia and Venice,
Italy.  We weren’t positive on what that
really meant as we worked hard to find contacts and transportation to Venice
and Croatia and struggled to get a clear plan, especially within our limited
budget.  Some of us wondered if our own
desires might be getting in the way of really hearing GOD, as it is our last
month on the race and it would be easy to just want to travel to as many countries
as we could that we wanted to see before we head home.  But that isn’t what we wanted.  We knew this month was just as important as
the previous ten.  We knew we needed to
just follow where we felt led.  After
making the final decision to head to Croatia, things began to fall into
place.  GOD took us further.

The
cheapest way we could find to get to Croatia was to take a flight to Krakow,
Poland, stay there a week, and then fly to Venice, Italy.  We knew that trains and buses left from
Venice to Croatia and that would be the cheapest route for us.  We greatly enjoyed our time in Krakow.  Many of us were not ready to leave,
especially, to head to Venice, where we had no place to stay.  But we knew we had to go.  We knew we were being called to Croatia.  When we arrived in Venice, more began to fall
into place leading us on our journey to Croatia.  We arrived, and as we worked out
transportation to Croatia, we were blessed with four free 72 hour water taxi
passes from a tourist in Venice who was leaving that day.  We found a hostel that cut its prices in half
and provided us with a beautiful view, our own beds, and internet.  And our transportation to Croatia did not
leave until the following day at 9:00 in the evening.  So we were able to stay a few days in Venice,
exploring it together, and just taking in Italy.  GOD certainly provided and blessed us over
and over again.

 

We
finally arrived in Split, Croatia on the 5th of November where we
are working with Global Cafe.  This
organization has already amazed me and I am excited to be a part of their
mission.  We are working at the cafe,
interceding, sharing our testimonies, and building relationships.  It is a wonderful ministry to be a part
of.  I continue to be in awe of where GOD
leads us.  HE gave us a direction, and as
we followed HIM, HE took us down a journey that we could never have imagined or
planned ourselves. 

I
remember sharing with those in Krakow, how this journey has more than just
changed my perspective.  It isn’t just my
career, clothes, and soon to be age that is different.  It is a lifestyle change.  One, where I strive to seek GOD’s will, not
my own and go…

 

Why, You do not even know what will happen
tomorrow.  What is your life?  You are a mist that appears for a little
while and then vanishes.  Instead, you
ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” ~
James 4:14-15
