A manager at my work was going on a trip to Jerusalem and
offered to take our written down prayers to Jerusalem’s Western Wall. So excited at the opportunity, I wrote on a
little yellow post-it, with two simple words: ‘Send Me.’ While I know the Lord hears my prayers, I
think He used the little yellow post-it in a major way….
Since high school I have had a weird attraction/pull to Africa,
anytime someone would speak of Africa, or a news channel would cover a story on
Africa I would find myself completely captivated. I have always desired to serve internationally
to experience and understand other peoples view on who God is, how they worship
and love Him. I have watched and greatly
admired many peers go and be sent out on many great adventures, crazily following
God’s call. But I lacked the belief/confidence
that God had something that incredible for me. I don’t have a degree, or a valuable trade like
medicine or a background in construction that would be valuable on mission
trips. I have always felt like I wasn’t
equipped, talented or skilled enough to go.
However, the truth is God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the
called. I believe that God has called me
into a season that requires me to get off my knees and pray, to be courageous
enough to go boldly in the direction of my dreams and pray God will bless the
journey. By no means can I afford to go
to Africa to serve on my own, but living by faith alone I know God will open
doors and provide.
Is it scary, HECK yea!
Self-Doubting, been there.
Am I right where God wants me to be, ABSOLUTELY.
As I blew out the candles to my 27th birthday cake,
my wish was to “ always be in God’s Will,”
what a beautiful feeling to know I am there….
