Choosing to trust

It's kinda crazy sometimes how much God shows you and comforts you with in such a short amount of time. As my training continues, I can't help but be overwhelmed by my humanness, my weakness, and just overall feeling completely inept. Going to Africa and being a full time missionary has been my dream and call for years, but as the trip arrived and my norms changed so did my confidence level. I used to struggle so much with pride and doing things for my glory or just out of my own strength but after these past 8 months or so, i can completely see how God has removed my pride and how different I am and see situations because I'm no longer wrapped up in my own thoughts and abilities. The way I see it, I have 2 choices as we move forward. I can either let this fear and weakness become me, OR I can live one day at a time, completely devoted to the God who has called me here. I choose to live today and every one of my remaining days not allowing the fear of failing control me but allowing God to do everything He has planned for me on this trip. I want to use my awareness of my weakness as a springboard to completely rely on God and to increase my faith and trust in Him alone and minimize myself as much as possible. I want to challenge you to the same thing. I know the U.S. is full of independent self made people, but imagine what it would look like if we all relied of His direction and His abilities for all that we do.
