I officially start my ministry tomorrow, and i am very excited. I will be serving at emmanuel's house and help with their sponsorship program. We started last month with touring the ministries and praying about where God wanted us and what He wants us to do there. From the very start i felt God calling me to serve at the GAP compound and the sponsorship part of Emmanuel's house. I just did not know what He wanted me to do at the GAP compound. I spent a lot of time in prayer about it and slowly I felt God telling me that He wanted me to get to know the groups that come through on short term mission trips. I tried to pretend like i did not hear Him because i did not like the thought of trying to interact with all those people. I am an introvert. Those groups can get very big. I talked about it with one of the missionaries visiting for the marriage conference and she gave me jeremías 29:11 "For i know the plans i have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for destruction, to give you a future and a hope." I felt God was telling me that yes He wanted me to get to know people with the groups but it was going to be a good learning experience for me. He is pushing me out of my comfort zone not yo harm me but to help me become a better servant for Him. He is teaching me a lot. I cannot wait to see what else God has in store for me this year.
This past month has gone by so fast but i am trying to live in the moment and create lasting memories.
