We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before leaving on this mission trip. Here is what I’m expecting…
I have been excited to see my account for the trip growing…slowly…but at least it’s growing. I expect my human nature to try and get in the way and get anxious or nervous about not having enough money for the trip. However, the Lord gave me 2 scriptures today: The first Luke 12:29-31
29And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
There is no reason to be anxious….the Lord knows that I need this…and He will provide. Phillipians 4:19- My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
I expect to get tempted by several things and attacked by the enemy, before and during this mission trip, but all I keep hearing from the Lord is stand firm. One of the perfect things about God, is that He always gives you a way out. And if He is the One who called me to do this trip, then what or who can get in the way of that?
This morning, it dawned on me, how untrusting we can be sometimes. I was envisioning myself as a child that couldn’t swim. And Jesus holding me up in his arms while we are in the water. Every so often I would freak out and start flailing my arms like I was going to drown, but each time He would tell me…”I got you.” I would feel so foolish, once I realized that I wasn’t even close to drowning, He had me in His arms the whole time.
I guess I’m moving away from the point of this blog. LOL! Sorry : ) The main expectation I have for this trip is for God to use me in ways I never thought possible. I expect to never be the same.
