I can't wait..
I'm revising my blog to solely be about my trip (hopefully!) to Africa this summer and the things God shows me along the way. Over the past few weeks I have applied for the trip, been interviewed and accepted, and began the daunting support raising process (especially daunting because my $2,300 deadline is quickly approaching...two days, ah). I've heard so many miraculous stories about God financially providing, in excess, for people who are serving Him. I completely trust that if Africa is where He wants me to be investing myself this summer, He will provide a way for me to get there.
I can't even explain how excited I am about this trip! I keep having "African day dreams" of me talking to the people in the village about their lives, and helping them wash their clothes or take care of their children. I can't wait to go to a hospital and pray for people there and give them hope or go to an orphanage and brighten up a child's day just by playing with them, and loving them. I CAN'T WAIT to see the face of an African man or woman the first time they hear about Jesus or, if they already know Him, for them to tell me what he has done in their lives. I can't wait to talk to the people who are currently participating in the World Race, to see how God has changed their hearts and what their lives have been like for the 11 months of their trip. I can't wait to see miracles.
As I was talking to my interviewer she told me of several times when her team saw miracles performed while in Africa, and how strong the need was there. At times they were working 16 hour days, with people in lines outside of their houses, because they needed healing and wanted to know more about the "Jesus god" who was healing people of their afflictions in their village. I know experiencing the power of Christ first hand like that would strengthen my faith in ways that nothing else could. I. CAN'T. WAIT.
My deadline for $2,300 is Thursday. I'm a fourth of the way there and right now all I have left to do is trust in God to get me where I need to be. I know He will provide, my God is big.
