My church is taking a missions trip to Moldova. Part of me desperately wants to go, and part of me wants to cry when i think about it.It's a strange feeling. I have never once had the desire to go out of the country. I have never once wanted to leave the comforts of america and proclaim the truth of Christ. I run into many kids and teens every week right here 20 minutes away from my home that I get to show Gods love to, but there is this tugging inside of me telling me to take the chance. then almost immediately comes the overwhelming fear that stifles it. I heard about the trip a couple weeks ago. I immediately thought I couldn't afford it so there is really no need to even consider it. Then when I heard it was working with people 18-25, I thought, "well I shouldn't go anyway, working with kids is definitely more my forte, I wouldn't have the slightest clue how to deal with people my own age." I think God was probably laughing at me. This morning at church Rob gets up and says "Know that money isn't going to be an issue, If you are suppose to go on this trip God will provide. Oh, and don't believe the lies that you wouldn't be able to do this. God can use you." Um hello, God yes I did hear that loud and clear whether I wanted to or not. Its quite ironic how I still feel the need to limit God. He is GOD. He can use me however he wants to use me. It has nothing to do with me honestly. I just have to be willing. He has proved that to me time and time again. Now, I just have to listen.
