“Me? Why me?”
Thats the question that keeps coming to my head. When i applied to go on The World Race I didn’t think I’d actually go. I thought the pickings were slim. besides, why would they pick me to represent them? I’m only 19. I’m from Albuquerque, New Mexico for crying out loud. Nobody ever notices me, so why is it that they noticed me? Why did they ask me to join the trip? What asset am I to them?
“Do you trust me?”. Thats what He said in response. I ignored the question and kept asking my own. I felt like I wouldn’t be good enough. Like I wouldn’t be the correct bone needed to help the body function. I didn’t believe in my own ability or strength, through God.
2 Corinthians 2:9 – But he told me: “My grace and kindness is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So I will brag even more about my weaknesses in order that Christ’s power will live in me.
You are the almighty, powerful, extraordinary God. How, in any way, could I not trust you? It is in you that I am strongest. I might not be the smartest, most educated, most confident, coolest, best person going on the trip, but that won’t stop God from using me. When I am weak, lost, or worried, thats when I should most put my hope in God. Without Him I am nothing.
“He doesn’t call the qualified, he qualifies the called.”. I am the called. I want to travel the world to spread the good news. I might not be the best at speaking about Him, I might be awkward, I might get nervous and freeze up or break down, but no matter what God will use me. I want to see your glory and power work through me. I want to speak your words to the lost. I want to trust you completely, and give my future over to you. You called, I answered. Here I am. send me.
“You called me out upon the waters, the great unknown where feet may fail. You’ve never failed me and you won’t start now.”
So here I go. It still hasn’t fully hit me that I’m going on this trip. Its so surreal right now. I’m still amazed in the ways God has recently spoken to me and helped me grow. Those are different stories for a different day. ANYWAYS!
I’ll be leaving early September and will be traveling to Central America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. I know with all my heart that God will provide for me to go on this trip. If you would like to help me and make a donation, anything is more then appreciated! Thank you, and God bless.
