So i literally have 2.5 days left till i head for the airport and head to Mexico! And i have been thinking a lot about this trip. God has been revealing a lot to me since i decided to take a leap of faith and go on this trip. I believe that this is probably the biggest thing that i have ever let god take full control over. It is amazing to see how everything has fallen into place like the team, finances, travel, packing, and everything else that has to do with this trip.
Just Mondays it hit me that i am less then a week away from leaving the comfort of my home to head to where God has called me. I am scared and nervous about this trip but i also and excited and anticipating and happy that God has chosen me to reveal his love to the people of Matamoros. I think that it is amazing that God chooses people that are Broken down and know that they are a failure but can be complete through Christ. It blows me away that God uses the people that at time the world looks down upon to further His kingdom! God continues to amaze me!!!!!
Today i have been really stressing about this whole trip... like do i have everything, what if i can't fit all of this stuff in my luggage, what if i dont get to the airport on time, what if i cant find the leaders. I was seriously flipping out... so i decided to get on the computer check e-mail go onto myspace all of those thing that teenagers do. I decided to check out a bands profile on myspace. They are called Starfield. Their song have a up-beat worship driven sound. I was listening to this song on their player that caught my attention and it talks about Where God wantes me i will go... specifically it seems that they are talking about missions and just litening to the songs assured me that everything was going to work out with this trip. I realized that God is in Control. This is for Him and He will always be there and wont let me fall... God has had top show me that numerous time. Here are those lyrics...
To the desperate eyes and reaching hands
To the suffering and the lame
To the ones the world has cast aside
Where you want me I will be
I will go
I will go
I will go Lord send me
To the world
To the lost
To the poor and hungry
Take everything I am
I’m Clay within your hands
I will go
I will go
Send me
Let me not be blind with privilege
Give me eyes to see the pain
Let the blessing You've poured out on me
Not be spent on me in vain
Let this life be used for change
I wanna live for you
Go where you lead me
I wanna follow you
I wanna live for you
Go where you lead me
I wanna follow you
I wanna live for you
Go where you lead me
I wanna follow you
Send me!
Hopefully i will get another post in before i leave but if not thank you all for your support and prayers. God is good. I have a few prayer requests
