But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:9
I am so weak. I feel incapable of a task this big. I don't know why God would put so much in the hands of a moody, unreliable teenage girl like me. Some days I feel like I really can do something like this and it won't be that hard. Other days I want to curl up in a ball and cry and question God for the big callings he places on my heart. God doesn't mean to scare or frighten though, and I am aware of that. I have to discern between the voice telling me "you can't" and the voice telling me "you will find me in the midst of this." I have seen God succeed through me before when I felt weak and insufficient and I have no doubt that he would love the opportunity to show his power within me again.
God has definitely been with me the last few weeks as the details are coming in and as the plans are being arranged in my host country. Just recently the entire payment for the trip was paid for! I had some generous people decide to donate money so that this would even be possible for me and I can't even explain how grateful I am for that. I believe that this is a testament to what can be accomplished with the power of prayer... God is so good. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to those who donated money to help me go on this trip, I really am so thankful for your kindness. Also, thank you to those who have been keeping me in your prayers and thoughts! Six weeks until departure! Let's do this!
