Hi Everyone! I am leaving tomorrow for the World Race! Since I have not been writing on my blog I thought I should write at least one before I go!
One of the main things I learned from training camp is that I need to learn to give up constant control over my life. If I constantly control everything that is going on around me, so that I am not challenged but comfortable, it leaves no room for God to work in and through me.
For awhile now I have been in that comfort state. I want to see God move in the world. I want to see His power and His work. I know that God is giving me this opportunity to step out. I know He has called me for such a time as this. Therefore, I know He will meet me there in all of those impossible situations all of those moments when I want to give up, yell, scream, cry.
I feel closer to God than ever before because I am stepping out and finally accepting the challenge of growing closer to Him. I am grateful I am being pushed out of the door by God and am overwhelmed by His love for me! I am so excited for this new chapter and adventure! Off to the Philippines I go! This is going to be a great year!
I will be posting more frequently. Hopefully with interesting stories and pictures!
