Sitting in my room during a break –during my missions conference in Richmond, VA- I finally had a moment to just breathe and think. During that time I asked God to tell me what He would have me do? So I picked up my book “Crazy Love’ and opened it with the thought that there would be nothing about missions in it, but if God really wanted he could still speak through it. So I began to read where I left off from when I was reading in the airport and as I turned the page a scripture was there staring me right in the face that would rock my world. This was the first of many confirmations that was yelling: GO!
This was the scripture given to me on July 30th, 2008 –My Call to Missions-
“The word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart, I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.’
‘Ah, Sovereign Lord,’ I said, ‘I don’t know how to speak, I am only a child.’
But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not say, I am only a child’. You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,’ declares the Lord.”
Jeremiah 1:4-8
