I don't know how many times I have said this, but I still cannot believe I am going to Africa. How did this happen? I remember sitting in my room crying after watching a video by Invisible Children thinking to myself, "I want to do something about this." I felt deep down in my spirit that God was literally tugging me towards this mission. It was so obvious in my heart that I wouldn't be satisfied until I said yes to his plan.
So here I am. 2 days away, and I will be flying halfway across the world to fulfill his word. Writing this for you guys to read. So what can I say to you that you can recieve and understand my heart in all this? How can I communicate to show what this trip is all about?
I know I won't be able to communicate as well as the bible can, so a scripture might just do the trick.
John 17: 20-23 says:
"I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me."
I pray that when I make this trip to Rwanda, that I glorify God in everything that I do. I pray that I make a difference in his kingdom. I pray that my heart will be broken for his people and that I somehow make a difference in someone's life by showing God's incredible love. I pray that I will give God my best; in everything that I do.
