I sit on my bed, that will only be my bed for one more night. I can’t help but think back … did I ever imagine that this time last year as I was preparing to move here, that after it was all over I would be leaving the country? Definitely not.
I stare at the empty room and the packed closet with all my stuff, soon all that stuff will be dragged out and loaded up. Going home with me, part will be stored for when I get back but most of it is going to the Yard Sale in July. Simplifying.
How did I get here? To this place of abandonment. To this place of an undeniable call to GO out into the Nations. He called me. He’s been calling me specifically since I was first exposed to missions in college. He has been preparing me. Every mission trip. Every experience. Every tear shed. Every drop of joy experienced. Everything. He has known since before I was born that I would be His vessel to share His love in a lost world. He made me for this. He designed my heart to long for this, to desire for this with all of my being. He called me.
Am I ready? I don’t feel like it. But He has equipped me, and as long as I lean into the Lord, trusting him – I am ready. I’m not this amazing person for going on this trip. I am a broken person who has received the grace and mercy of a loving Savior. I am a broken person who has been broken in the hands of Christ – He has broken my heart for what breaks His. His hands never leave me. He provides for me. He loves me. On my own, I am not ready; with Him I couldn’t be more ready.
Training Camp is on Saturday, I expect to have an experience uncomparable to anything I have ever experienced before. God is going to do some BIG things at camp, and I know that I will be even more on fire to GO after our 9 days in Copperhill, TN.
Your support is still needed to bring the Kingdom to the Nations, could you donate to the call He has placed on my heart? Could you invest in the lives of many? Their eternity depends on it. I am not the only one who could share the love of Christ with them, but what if they don’t hear?
And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”
(Romans 10:15, NLT)
I am here to be the hands and feet of Christ. I am here to serve Him. I am here to bring glory to His name and His alone.
Then I heard the Lord asking,
“Whom should I send as a messenger to this people?
Who will go for us? ”
I said, “Here I am. Send me.�
(Isaiah 6:8, NLT)
Please help send me … donate here.
Thank you for being a part of this next chapter in my life.
