Have you ever heard God tell you to do something or go somewhere?
It can be very imitating and scary. That is what happened to me. He has told me this season is a season of stepping out. God is calling me out of comfort and is asking me if I trust him. That is another scary question because you want to say yes but if you don’t follow what you say with action then its not really true or what you believe.
I will be telling you about the story of how God called me on this adventure with World Race.
So I saw a post on Facebook about it. I have never heard of World Race and it seemed interesting. I clicked on the link and read about it. I eventually started my application but I didn’t finish it because I thought that God was wanting me to wait and be still at this point. Then about a week later, a person from World Race called me and talked to me. It got me thinking about it again. A couple days later I applied and realized that this is a door that has been opened to me and I will pursue it unless the door closes. Then about a week later I got a phone interview and she said that it would take about 4 or 5 days to process. Well…She called the next day and told me that I got excepted. I asked her if I could have a couple days to pray about it. I prayed about it and asked God if I should go and do this. He told me that he would pay off my student loans (about the same amount as this trip) and pay for me to be able to go on this trip.
At that point, I was astonished at God’s answer because I was thinking about my debt and thinking that it will hold me back. God knows our thoughts. Have you ever thought something and God answered you in a different way than you expected? That is exactly what happened here.
I decided that this is what God wanted for me to do. I heard him that this is the next step he wants me to take. He asked me, “Do you trust me with everything?” I told him yes and put down the down payment of $150.
A few days later, I talked to my friend and he told me that about 3 months ago, God told him that God was going to pay off my student loans. That was defiantly confirmation. Have you ever had confirmation from God that you knew it could only be God and nothing else?
It was hard to wrap my mind around that God told me he will pay for my student loans and pay for me to go on this trip. He gave me that promise and I know he will fulfill his promise. He isn’t telling me how he is going to do it but that is where the trust comes in.
I want to ask you, Do you trust him with everything to be able to act on something he tells you to do?
