Ok so what do you do when you feel God calling you to do something really outside of your comfort zone?
Well for the past several years I have been saying "NO, Not right now". Recently I have prayed for God to use me in some way to further his kingdom. I want God to move me in a way that I can serve him and him alone. Not to long ago my pastor talked about whatever the question was that God was asking you put your yes on the table. Put it on there before he asks. Well I went down and prayed that prayer and told God that whatever the question was, my yes was on the table and that I would do whatever it takes to further his kingdom.
Long story short my friends, I have felt God calling me to go on a mission trip to Africa with my church. This is the exact same thing I have been saying no to! God has placed an unimaginable burn in my heart for Africa and the people there. I don't know what God has in store for me there nor do I plan to "figure it all out", I will simply submit to him and allow him to work in me.
I can tell you that my mom is not ready for this and I think my kids are on the fence but I couldn't ask for a more supportive husband. He is doing everything he can to help me to prepare for this....he is even shopping for clothes for me! He is so worried that I will get a bad sun burn.
So if you are reading this then I ask for you to do something for me. Please pray that God will protect us, guide us and prepare us that are going. Please pray that he will guide our path and present opportunities for us along the way to present the Gospel to others. That is the most precious thing that you can do for us. If you are wanting to help financially you are more than welcome to. The trip is about $3000.00 for each of us and every penny helps. Let me know and I will send you a letter on how you can help with that.
Thank you now for the prayers and I cant wait to see how God will work in your life!
