I graduated last May, and since then I have been wandering aimlessly through life (around Springfield), with no exciting job or life event to speak of. I guess I was waiting on God to give me my husband, so I could start my life. Then I had an epiphany- This IS my life! I felt amazed and ashamed that I had been waiting for my reward before I would agree to do God’s will. It was then I knew I had to go.
One thing I have noticed, that never in all of my years as a Christian have I ever faced so much opposition and persecution as I am now facing. The devil’s working overtime. I know that before any great work of God, the devil does his best to steal our joy and courage. He doesn’t want us to do great things for the Kingdom. I fight daily against the flesh, and thoughts of the world, and my own insufficiencies. But I know that greater is He who is in me, than he who is in the world. And all I have to say is “get thee behind me satan!”
I don’t believe in coincidence, it’s simply a divine conspiracy. Within the past month I decided to go on the race, applied, had my interview, got my website set up, and on my way. There is no way all this would have worked out the way it did if God hadn’t had his hand on it. I have an unexplainable peace about this trip I’ve never felt before. It’s so exciting to finally be stepping out into what God has planned for me.
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10
I will go
