When you're not going on a missions trip, you tend to think...
...God won't use you ...God won't provide for you ...you're not allowed to ask your friends for prayer ...there is no purpose in the trip you're embarking on ...if you don't want to go, it probably means you're in the midst of disobedience ...there will be no one there that knows or loves God I am leaving for Scotland in just a few days. I'm a bit excited, but honestly I just don't want to go. When I think about it, a slight feeling of dread comes over me. I realized that I am believing all of these lies lately; when I told Sam about some of them he kind of chuckled. It really is that ridiculous. Why would not going on a "missions trip" mean that all of a sudden I wont be provided for or cared for? My beautiful friend Maddie also gave me some wise words. I mentioned to her that I wouldn't be going to Scotland if I had known I was getting married in August and she responded by reminding me that God knew. He knew that I would be getting engaged, changing my wedding date, and even going to Scotland this year. And he will care for me. Truth I have been hearing: - he will go with me wherever I go - this is a time that I get to build beautiful intimacy with this God that I love - the foundation that Sam and I will build over these months apart will be strong and prepare us for marriage - I am going to Scotland to love the least of these as I know I have desired to do - video chatting... holla at that! So here I go! In less than three days. Whoa, baby.

I'm guessing I'll have it all figured out by the time I turn 30.
