In September I took a step out card from the missions booth at church. With a sense of Im going to go on that trip no matter what Lord. It has been a long haul to get there. Word eventually came that the summer trip i wanted to be a part of was canceled. I was left with despair, and wondering yet again; "Why Lord?" Thy Why answere did not come for a while. Until a couple weeks ago at church I was told i was invitied to join the spring break trip. I was overjoyed and yet a little overwhelmed. That is in two months and I dont know if I could come up with the money in time. But i was told to put in my $50.00 deposit check, and let go and let God do the rest. Im not stressing anymore about it, well ok maybe that isnt entirly true, but im not fretting over it either. God provides all our needs, and He alone will give us the desires of our hearts. This trip, missions as it is, has been a desire of mine for the last 10 years. 10 years ago i would watch Tommy Barnnett on TV and listen to his dream of having this huge center to help people of Los Angeles' inner city, I wanted to be a part of it. to reach out to the broken hearted just as Christ tells us to do. Ya i can do this from the homefront. But I knew way back then i was called to go. If only once in my life. And now it has given me a renewed hope and faith that God does call all of his people to do things. You just have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and into the fires sorta speak. And ill definatly be out of my comfort zone on all sorts of levals, Flying (hate it and phobic about it) , being in a dorm setting on many levals (scares me as ive never had to do that before except for an over night setting once) Having to wear Tshirts and Jeans the whole time, because i cant wear shorts or tank tops. (oyvey my hotflashes are going to kill me in the hot sun LOL) And realy what it comes down too, Is that I dont know what giftings Im bringing down with me. All I have to offer now, is my big heart to help people and my willingness to listen and just GO. So take this year to Move and Step out in Faith.
