People have asked me allll weekend how I am feeling and to be honest I am feeling all the feels. I am excited, sad, homesick, and sleepy. The most dominate of all the emotions I am feeling is peace. I am feeling such a peace about this journey.
The only reason I am feeling such a peace is because I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that this is what I am supposed to be doing and this is where I am supposed to be. I know that things will get hard, things have already been hard, but this is God’s plan for my life. He knew from the beginning of time that I would be doing this and that this mission trip would happen in when I was 22 years old, fresh out of college. If you had asked me what my plan was, it would not be this. It would be teaching in a small town in Tennessee and never getting radical or outside the box.
The LORD has NOT called us to be inside a box. He has not called us to live fearfully or to be quiet. He has commanded us to go out and share our stories and share how God has saved us and worked in our lives. He has called us to live boldly, to speak out, and to lift up.
I am certain that the reason behind my peace is because the LORD is showing me that now more than every HE’S GOT THIS!! All I have to do is follow Him and listen.
With this peace, I am going out into the world. With my team Vessel of Peace (I know…we are all about the peace in this place.) by my side, I am ready to take on El Salvador and live out what it means to be the church. I am ready for this adventure to begin! I leave for the airport in exactly 2 hours and I am more than excited and ready for this thing to begin.
El Salvador here we come!
Blessings,
