Today I start my journey to Uganda, a 2-day journey, stopping in Atlanta and Amsterdam along the way. The past few weeks leading up to this day have been hectic, filled with errands, doctors appointments (shots!), work, school, Bible study, learning a new language, and so much more. At some times I was so busy I thought I felt as though I could lose it at any moment. Then I was reading Romans my favorite book of the Bible and Paul writes: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13). After I read this verse I got excited, because I realized that I just needed to put all of my trust in Him. God is a God who will handle everything, more efficiently than I can. As this day goes on I try to rest more in His arms and think less of what I have to do and more of what He will do.
Today as I embark for a country on the other side of the world, I am just going to take more time to pray. First for my family and friends, then for myself. I pray for my family and friends, that they do not worry, for God has my back (Psalm 3) and He holds me in His hands (Isaiah 43) and that all they need to do is give their worries to Him (1 Peter 5:6-8). That I might go unafraid into unfamiliar territory, with the confidence that I can do all things through Christ and that God will supply all my needs. I pray that I might be salt and light (Matthew 5:13-16) and that I might be a sponge and soak up as much as possible. Lastly, please pray that God may bless me with the remaining balance for my trip ($1900) and that I continue with faith that He will do it.
Until next time, Love and Peace
