Isaiah 6:8 “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”In about six months (June 15 - June 29), I will be embarking on my first mission trip (hopefully). I will be going to Phnom Pneh, Cambodia and Hau Giang, Vietnam to help people medically and spiritually.
A few months ago, I was craving so badly to go on a mission trip. But I never thought that God would call me into one that would take me to the other side of the world. I really just thought I'd start small scale and work my way up. But what I think isn't usually the way God has me go, haha. Nevertheless, I'm so excited to go on this trip. I know that it will be so good for me spiritually and mentally. I know God wants me to see all that I have, all the things I take for granted, but he also wants me to see that his love exists everywhere. I need to see that. I need more than to see that. I need to touch it, feel it, speak it, and live it. I'm ready.
I've put God aside so much lately; even pushing him away. But it's time I realize that without him, I'm lost. I need to do this not just for me, but for me and God and our relationship. I will be in another country where I know I will feel helpless and lost and alone; it will make me cry out to God to give me strength. I'm so catered here that I need not more help, but I need to throw it all away to help others and spend time with God.
Two weeks without a cell phone, a laptop, make up, or any other type of social distraction; two weeks with fellowship, introspection and devotion, and every other type of instrument God uses to pour out his love.
