If you would have asked me at any point in my life what I would be doing in 2018, I guarantee you the answer would not be embarking on the world race, an 11month mission trip. I would assume my answer would involve nursing, being married, kids…. but it would appear God has a different plan in mind. Prov 19:21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. This has been a verse that God has laid on my heart since I got accepted. I wonder sometimes why he would call me, the girl who never goes camping, who loves her daily showers, who has more shoes than any one person needs in a lifetime, and who is deathly afraid of snakes, spiders, and all things creepy crawly to a trip like this. But I am trusting that he has a purpose for me and that He will be with me every step of the way. Luckily I have been equipped with another verse given to me by my mom many years ago that helps me in those times of fear. Phil 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything through prayer and supplication, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. So I take the leap of faith and am so excited to see what God has in store for me as He uses me in bigger ways than I could have ever imagined. Thank you for going on this journey with me!!! I can not tell you how much it means to me to have such an amazing support group financially, prayerfully, and emotionally. Please pray that I would not be consumed by my fears as I begin preparing for this trip. Instead that I might trust and pray and experience the peace of God which surpasses all understanding. God Bless, Kristine |
