My team! It astounds me to think that 6 completely different people from completely different backgrounds and I don’t care what you say guys, but most of us would not be friends or even talk to each other if not for God’s divine will. God wanted us all here, isn’t that amazing! God handpicked my roommates and friends. If I would have thought of it I would have prayed fervently for these wonderful people before I came, but of course my flurried mind did not think about it.
I’m not the type of person who makes friends easily or really gets to know everyone. It is just not in my nature, no matter how much I wish it was I know that I am (in the true sense of the word) an introvert. I don’t really like to get to know strangers. I would rather know one person really well then fifty people kind of well. I’m not sure what God was thinking calling a person like me to (at least a season) of missions work, but don’t doubt God. So when he said jump, I jumped. So, here I am in Gainesville, GA with probably yet another year of missions work ahead of me. Yet another year of just following what God wants me to do and just following his course.
I just want to do what God’s will is, whatever that may be. I am willing to die for Christ but I am willing to do the even harder things living for him. I will let my actions speak louder than my words. I will preach the gospel and if necessary use words. I will listen to what other people have to say and try and look past what they are saying to what they are meaning and the pain and struggle behind those words. I will try not to complain and try to get past this darn old flesh of mine the point that this life is not about me, it’s
about them, whoever that them might be.
This was not the blog that I was going to write, I was going to write about my trip to NYC and I will, trust me to much happened not to pen it away. But for now this on my heart so I will share with you my pursuit of God and prayers of what my life looks like. It could be college a job, it could be missions, it could be a carnival worker for all I know, but I trust and I know that what God has for me is best and hope that I will follow the course that God has set out for me. I hope you wish the same.
