I ended the last blog with asking God a question.
What have i gotten my self into??
Honestly? I have no idea. I have never done a mission trip, never had to fundraise, never had to leave my comfort zone, never had a problem of being lost in language translation. So I do not know!
Sound crazy right?? Believe me it is. Lately people have been asking why do I have to leave my country when I can evangelize right here where I am. That is true. I could stay and have a wonderful job with an organization where I could have the opportunity to minister in different ways and avoid all the struggles and not have to leave anything behind. Why would I leave my home, college, job, friends, family for a "mission trip"? I'm sure some else could do way better than me. Why me??? Because I am called. It's that simple.
Isaiah 41:9-10 (NIV)
I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called YOU. I said, "You are my servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. SO do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you."
Even though this is probably one of the scariest things I have done in life I have never been so sure about God's calling as I am right now. It's a huge step of faith and I can't wait to see what God has in stored for me in this new chapter of my life.
