As time was approaching for me to make a decision to become a missionary I am beginning to become overwhelmed and worried with the thought. I opened up my devotional book on Friday, (Aug. 22) and this is the verse that God had given me...
"Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks. And God's PEACE, which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:6-7
So I prayed that morning and thanked God for even being in this place of great decision and asked Him to reveal His will to me. Well, later on that day He revealed Himself through another scripture...
"So Jesus said to them again, 'Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.'" John 20:21
So I feel as though God is calling me...calling me where????
Well, the very next day I got my letter from the International Mission Board with my proposed assignment in Kampala, Uganda. WoW...Africa!!! That is just crazy...who would of thought that I would move to Africa....that is a lot to take in. It took me almost a week to sign the assignment paper and turn it in, but it is out there and I will be heading of to training in January....all I can say is WoW!!!

Sit back and grab a latte (mint mocha is my fav) as the story unravels of how it came to be that I am destined to Africa!!! 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! |
