If you know me well enough, you know I am not one to get emotional and deep much, but today I am. I will be honest with my readers, I am struggling with this right now. The Lord laid on my heart about two years ago while, I was in Swaziland Africa, that I am suppose to be a missionary. Two years later I am sitting in my tent in India getting to live that out. No one said it would be easy, but no one said it would be overly hard either. I think I came into the Race with high expectations, with big dreams, and a full heart, but the Lord is trying to teach me something. Yesterday (9-18-17) we got our team assignments for the month of India. My team (Aslan’s Army) was put on work duty. Okay I will be honest, I was so discouraged when I heard that.. we will be doing yard work around the building we are staying at for three weeks straight. It was not what I expected at all, it was not what I had hoped to be doing, honestly I really hate yard work (my mama knows this 🙂 ). I was pretty upset and frustrated, wondering what the Lord would do in this. Then this morning (9-19-17) I had a good talk with the Lord and he taught me to be content where he has put me. I can not see his plan right now, but he sure has one. I know I will grow a lot in this month, He will teach me that it is his plan and not my own, to be joyful in the midst of my circumstances, that my dreams, even if I do not see it yet, will be lived out according to his purpose. I came in with high expectations, but the Lord has even higher ones for me. Even if I can’t see the outcome of this month of work right now, I know he has some type of plan in this. Going into the race I knew I will be tested, I would be broken, but that I would be built up to become an even better daughter of the Lord. Life is hard sometimes people, God didn’t tell us in the Bible that being a Christian would be a jolly fun thing all of the time. I am ready to be tested, I am ready for this mission, I am ready to be broken for the lord, and I am ready to take on the world with him leading my path.
Love yall!!!
