It is funny how I got here. I told God my plans and He laughed at me. I know I am called to missions and I am okay with that but I just felt that I needed time off. I told God that I was going to take a few years off from it.
Well, I didn’t know what I was going to do this summer or even after it and so I prayed that God would lead me where He wanted me. I got asked to return to the summer camp and was excited that I got that done but I continued to pray that God would lead me after summer. I was bored one day and just started to google up random words (come on… you know you’ve done it!) and I looked up the word adventures only to come across the website. I told myself, “Okay, I will apply but I won’t get in because God knows I don’t want to go.” Well, after my phone interview I “knew” I was not accepted! But then I get the call letting me know I was. I was scared!
After this, I made sure I was late on all the deadlines but they continually gave me more time. I continued to pray that God would lead me where He wanted me because I didn’t want to go and continually He told me He did.
Here is a little side note: I was planning on moving to AZ with a friend after summer and I knew there was no way I could pay for both and so I was leaning on the side that I wanted to move to AZ.
One night I asked God that if He truly wanted me to go on this mission trip that He would cancel the plans on moving to AZ because I just couldn’t chose both at this time. Two seconds later (no joke) I get a text from my friend telling me how plan fell through. We were no longer going to AZ. I finally surrendered that night. Well, also because they told the story of Jonah that night and I really didn’t want to get eaten by a big fish. LOL!
Well, the last day of camp was Friday and now I am jobless! I need to pay for my plane ticket before the end of this month and have no money! I am trusting on God but your prayerful support would be nice. Oh, and if you could find me a job or prayerfully consider supporting me so I can get my plane tickets! Thank you and God bless!
