Out of Order

Well, I'm on the plane on my way to Africa! As I'm 35,000 feet above the ground, I think back to when I was 14 when I was in Youth for Christ. The musical we did that year was "Please Don't Send Me to Africa". Haha, I remember thinking, "I'm not very interested in Africa". Number one reason: BUGS! Number two reason: my vision was so narrow-minded. I was preparing to go to Latin Amrica. I had received a few words on Spanish speaking countries. All I saw for me was North America. I never knew about the rest of the world.
So, I ventured out on my first mission to Tijuana, BC, Mexico. That was the hook, and soon I discovered I was caught-hook, line and sinker. I remember leaving Mexico and crying for an hour straight. I wept at how God had changed my perspective and my heart missed Mexico. I returned to Canada with a fresh persective on culture and the world-on what life is like outside of my bubble. Since then, I have had the opportunity to travel to several countries. And now, I am excited with anticipation of what God will do on this trip. I no longer am afraid that this trip might now measure up to the last trip. I know that He is faithful. I knowt that this is pivotal. I carry so much in my heart for what will happen.
Jesus, you are so good.
