We just got our launch date and place. I will be flying out to Chicago, IL on September 5th. I will be there with with my squad for maybe a day or so and then we will be heading out of the country all together (1st stop is Africa).
When I received this news, im not gonna lie, my heart dropped. A feeling a nervousness and anxiety came over me. Like, "Oh my God, this is really happening. I'm leaving my family, friends, and everthing I know behind". But then God put a verse in my head that I have been reading to myself over and over, since before training camp…and even throughout the week of training camp:
"I have taken you from the ends of the earth and called you from its most distant places. I said to you, 'You are my servant. I've chosen you; I haven't rejected you. Don't be afraid, because I am with you. Don't be intimidated; I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will support you with my victorious right hand. … Don’t be afraid; I will help you.’” -Isaiah 41: 9-10, 13
I'm like, "Alright God, You got it! I trust You". And let me tell you, I have such a peace in my heart. That doesn't mean that I'm not gonna cry my eyes out like a baby when it's time to say goodbye, cuz believe me, I will. It's just that I know that I am going to be okay. I wrote a poem that I would like to share with you all. It's really my prayer to God. I hope it encourages someone. Love you all 
Lord, I don’t know how You want to use me, but I lay my life before You and surrender all. I know that when I follow You, Your will and plan for my life will begin to unravel. Lord, I know that this journey with You will be full of uncertainties, but I know that I can step into those uncertainties with confidence because You’ve already given me the victory in the end. So I will take those steps of faith and trust Your word. Thank you for choosing me. Lord, give me Your boldness so that I can be Your hands and feet. So I can be Your mouth piece. Shine Your light through me and help me to love others as You love me. Use me Lord. Take me to those uncertain places so that I can seek You and completely rely and trust in You. Let Your will be done.
Ready For The Uncertain Places
