Here I am, preparing to head off to training camp tomorrow. And then Zambia a couple days later.
I’m super excited, which is weird for me. I’m used to being afraid of the “new” in life. Not eager for it.
But God is doing something new in me this time. Rather than being afraid of the unknown, I am excited for it. I find myself expectant of what’s to come with this trip. I am so ready to get started.
Ready to meet my team and get to know each of my sisters face to face. I am ready to venture into the unknown and see God’s glory in new ways. I am ready to learn about the world and the people that live in it. I am ready to learn more about myself and the person that God has made me to be. I am ready to find God in the “new”.
I had a thought the other day:
God’s glory is over all the earth… I long to see that glory first hand as I travel to new places on this earth.
God is my loving Father and He has only the BEST in mind for me. Because of that truth, I don’t have to be afraid of the “new”. I have absolutely no reason to fear what is unfamiliar to me.
Nothing is unfamiliar or unknown to God, so I am happy to rest in the comfort of that truth.
I am so thankful to God for doing this new work in my heart. He has given me such excitement for the next three months as He’s enabled me to trust in Him. I can’t wait to see what He does. It’s going to be great!
