TOMORROW!

Well, tomorrow is the day! We leave tomorrow for our first flight of our 3 flight trip to Cape town, South Africa. We fly from Phoenix to Detroit, from Detroit to Amsterdam, and from Amsterdam to Cape town. 3 full days of travel, long layovers, and 10 hours of time changes, but by 10pm South Africa time on August 1st I will FINALLY be on the ground and stepping into my future. It's finally here! It's like the day before Christmas and I'm a 4 year old kid just ready for life to start. My mind and heart are all over the place, but as we pack our bags and make our final preparations, there's this still small voice that whispers thru the words of Habakkuk and the verse I have chosen to be a theme of my trip. "Look among the nations and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe, even if told." Habakkuk 1:5. Once again I'm reminded that I don't need to know. I don't need to have a detailed plan and picture of what I'm doing. I don't need control. Because God's plan is so great that I wouldn't believe it even if I were told about it. This verse isn't just true about me and my team but for you as well. God is planning to do something in my life, your life, your families lives, your friends lives, something more than we would believe even if we were told about it. If you're like me, the lack of control is scary, but our God is so much greater and His plans, purpose and timing of everything He does is ALWAYS perfect. I don't know much about what is going on after August 1st in regards to what everyday life will look like, but God knows and has it perfectly planned out as well. In that truth, there's peace, in that truth, there's hope, in that truth, theres freedom. And that's all I need to have a peace that surpasses all understanding flood my heart and soul today and in the days to come. I pray that that truth strengthens you and changes your view on God as well, because He wants to do immeasurably more than you could ever ask for or imagine in and thru you, if you just let Him.
