Countdown

Countdown To Japan

I am 99.9999% sure I am going to be going on the Nippon Initiative trip this summer to Japan. It is going to cost me $3000 but I am confident God will supply for that. I am way excited. The only thing I'm worried about is how I'm going to adjust to the new culture and how I'm going to get along with the people in the group. Hopefully it won't be too rough. I am kinda getting sick already thinking about the 12 hour flight :-P The food sounds pretty interesting over there. I am way excited to see how God is going to use this in my life. Hopefully there will be more missions trips in my future and maybe a lifetime of missions work. We shall see how God leads.

You never really know...

Life has many unexpected turns. Things never turn out the way you plan it. One minute you're thinking of marriage and kids and the next you're alone and hoping for true love. One minute you're one major and the next minute you change it and are graduating moving on to bigger and better things. You plan for one thing and God turns you around and pushes you in a totally different direction. You watch as your life falls apart than you see as God picks up all the pieces and puts it together totally different. I never understand. I can't tell the future and tell how things will work out. I have been through so much crap it's amazing I'm still alive. But somehow God has looked past everything and He's still holding my hand. He never let go. I may have let go of Him but he was still keeping a grip just giving me some slack. I give Him everything, every little piece and I have no need to worry. I'm in the best years of my life. I still have so much ahead of me. So much work I could be doing for Christ instead of worrying about myself. "I'm getting old" "I'm not talented" "I'm just useless" All Myths!! Why would I believe that. I just live one day at a time and leave everything in my Maker's hands :)
