Change of plans

 

   Sometimes things turn out a little different than we expected.  I was so set on going to G42 in January but that is no longer the plan.  I had been praying about it, and God kept telling me that He would provide! God did not change my heart until He saw that I totally trusted that He would provide and I finally knew that it did not matter what anyone else thought.  God told me not to go to G42, but instead to go home for now to love people and share all that I have learned and done in Kenya. For a couple days I felt pulled home, so I sat down and was silent before God.  I needed to chill out and figure out what God was saying.  I heard Him telling me to go home, and  when I finally decided to listen and not go in January I felt so freed and released.  It was like a weight was lifted off me. 

 
  At first I was frustrated that God had given me so much assurance that I was to go to G42. As He told me something different I knew He had a purpose. The purpose of God giving me such assurance was to build my faith, and get me to a place where I was fully trusting Him. It's not going to be easy going home without a plan of what's next, but I know God will provide.  Living in Spain, loving God and loving people sounds so fabulous, but that's not the plan right now.  I would still love to go to Spain and since there is so much freedom in Christ, I might get another chance one day.  
   I think God gives us a glimpse of what He would like us to do. He gives us desires of what we would like to do, but he leaves out the timing of it all. I want to encourage you.  You can never be too far into a situation to back out.  Also, there is so much freedom in Christ.  I have learned to trust God so much through all of this. He brought me all the way to a place where I was willing to trust that He would provide!
