Well I've been laying on the couch all day because my Jaw has been hurting pretty bad, and I have a sore throat...I know, bummer right?
Last night God called on me while in worship time with Him at church, but He called on me for a different reason this time. -I'll start from the beginning, during the message, they asked us all the question.."If you could do anything in the world RIGHT now, what would you do?" Well I asked myself that and also included God, and I came up with the answer, "Go on a Missions Trip, somewhere in the world, and travel for a living, giving back to the people that need clothes, bedding, food, Etc."
I'll be honest, this was totally God speaking to me because I didn't see this one coming, I figured it would be a simple answer like..."go to Rome with my friends, or meet the man I'm going to marry right now." ha! Have I ever told you that God has a mind of His own? Because He does :)
Don't get me wrong though, since I was about 12 years old I always wanted to go on a Missions Trip with my brother, but I thought it would be a 1 time thing, not something I did as a life choice. But hey I'm still young, and I don't know what my future holds, but God does!
I wanted to share this because I don't know how many of you are scared of what your future will hold, but I want to tell you to not be scared, because God holds your future. He knows your ending, and He will give you the desires of your heart if you lean on Him fully.
This look into the future last night for me when God was telling me about traveling the world and becoming a Missionary, was scary honestly, because I always said I would live in the same town as my parents so we would always be close, and so my children could know their grandparents really well, so yeah this scared me. Also though, I was over-joyed because the thought of giving back to the people that don't even know where their next meal will come from, is an amazing thought. I want that, I want to experience that. I want to see the love and excitement on the children's faces when I give them a stuffed animal to cuddle with at night. I want to make a difference in this world.
I don't know what my future will hold, because I thought I was going to go to College to become a Writer, but if I have Missions work in my future, well then I'll be pretty happy. I'll go anywhere God calls me to go, I won't just go, I'll go running to His calling for my life. :)
-Think about this...you NEVER know when God will be calling out to you, and you never know where you'll be when He calls out to you. You could be in the Supermarket, or you could be at the Gas Station, or you could be sitting in your room giving time to Our God, when He speaks to you. You never know where you'll be, but in my opinion it's always awesome when God speaks to me. :)
