Simmer.
oh wow oh wow oh wow! Thailand happens in less than three weeks! wow. my sister is SOO excited for her trip.. she gets excited but then sometimes it is short lived.. kind of like the comparison between boiling and simmering. she is a boil-person: she gets excited VERY quickly! Me.. I simmer.. I need time to get excited slowly and then I stay warm for a very long time! And do you know what is precious? Jesus knows that. He gives me a lot of time to get ready for stuff. :) He told me in October that He wanted me to go on a trip to Thailand this summer. He didn't tell me a few months ahead of time.. he gave me as much time as possible! Isn't that wonderful?!
He has birthed a huge dream in my heart that He has not relented on: go to China to be a missionary. wow, he told me that when I was just a kid.. and He TRULY has given me time to simmer.. to get ready in all areas.. because then He knows I will stay warm for a very long time and not just be a boiling mess that is like a microwave. hot fast, cold fast.
Ahh so I just finished this book called In the Arena by Isobel Kuhn! SOOO incredible!! It was so convicting, so deep. so King James Version and not The Message! lol it made God glorified. it made God not look like a little angel who just sends blessings to people.. it made Him look fierce, mighty, terrible and beautiful at the same time! And that is the God I can relate with.. sometime people describe God so little of Who He actually is! So this was WONDERFUL!!!
Also, I am quitting my present job soon.. my last day is June 6th, and I AM SO EXCITED!!!! It is a really stressful job so I am very happy. However, when I get back from my trip in August I feel I am really going to be walking by Faith because I don't have a schedule.. my plans don't work haha. but God is already ready! He is geared up.. Me. I have some plans but nothing definite.
- Get a job as a CNA at the local senior center
- Go to Orlando for training in October.
- Raise money for China.
That's it. I don't know if I will get a job right away. I don't know if more fundraising will work out. But oh. it is SUCH a comfort to know that Jesus is already there. He already knows my plans for my future, plans to prosper and not harm me. He has told me to not be anxious about anything so I have no reason to be.
If nothing else this year, He has taught me that He is faithful. He is. He provided all of my money for my trip. He gave me enough money for my exact needs. I don't need to rely on men. I need to rely on Him because it is His money anyways.
Tough lessons but a faithful God! I am so INCREDIBLY looking forward to a ministry-filled summer and reunions with friends!!! [that is a wonderful part too!!!! I get to see my new nephew, HA sisters and brothers and other beautiful people ALL THIS SUMMER!!!!!!!!]
Papa, bring it.
