A few days ago, I left the only home I’ve ever known to go on the adventure of a lifetime. With a past history of anxiety, this was the biggest step I’d ever taken out of my comfort zone and to be honest, in my life. I wasn’t sure what to expect in many areas ( I’m still not too sure for a lot of things) and I was so nervous but excited to do something so big. As I boarded my plane from Houston to Georgia for training camp and to meet my team, I was questioning how God could really use me on such an big trip with so many people. As we ascended, we passed through clouds and the mist swished around us and was almost immediately gone making way for our plane to pass through. I thought about James 4:14 which reads: “Why, you don’t even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” In terms of forever, our lives are literally a small mist; here today and gone tomorrow. I thought that surely God had better people to use than me; a small town girl from Conroe, Texas. But fortunately, that is not how God views me. I am His daughter, He is SO in love with me! He even specifically hand picked my team and me to serve in the small country of Swaziland, Africa! And that He thought to include me in His plans for a change in Swaziland, something He is definitely big enough to change on His own, shows me how special I am to my Father in heaven. I am so in love with Him for allowing and providing for me to go on this adventure and make a difference for His kingdom! He is truly so good!
