He is Faithful

As I begin to walk in this missionary journey I am once again convinced that I serve a faithful God! Everyday that I walk in obedience to the calling God has placed before me I am reminded of just of good He is! I serve and love an amazing God!

Today is the start of week 4 since I have become a commissioned missionary. It was only 23 days ago that I was finishing my training, being handed my certificate, and joining Team Italy (Rome). It seems like months have past since then not just a few weeks!

In the last 3 weeks I have hit the ground running. I am not one to sit around when I have something to get completed. Plus I am the worst at waiting and I really don't like being behind! However that is exactly how I have been feeling - behind. I got all of my letters sent off, have started meeting with people about raising support and starting the moving process. Yet I still felt I like was behind and not doing enough.

Well this morning I figured out why I was feeling this way. On my drive to work this morning I was praying for a meeting I was having today. A big meeting with my Pastor. A BIG MEETING. I was praying and suddenly I stopped or was stopped. All I could think about was I, I, I. Yep, I was trying to do all of this stuff in my own strength, on my own terms, and by myself! Like I said I serve a very faithful God and in His faithfulness He gently reminded me that this has nothing to do with me.

I very quickly changed my prayer... Lord may your will be done!!! I confessed right there in my car while stopped at the red light that I have been trying to do this all on my own. The truth is that I am not behind at all. But the lie Satan wanted me to believe is that I was not doing, trying, striving enough - anything to pull my attention from the One who called me to do this in the first place!

God is faithful and He will faithfully provide all that I need! I know I can trust Him... and so can you! Step out, obey what He's calling you to do - He's worth trusting!!!
