The way God works is so funny and random, sometimes I think he tries to see just how random of a situation he can put together for his glory.
For instance, He sent me on a mission trip to New York where I met and connected with Nati, an British sounding Spanish girl who is on staff at Metro and wasn't even really supposed to be around our team but was for that week, and then after spending 5 days with her and txting back and forth for 2 months, she comes to Arkansas for her vacation for 2 weeks and now is hopefully going to move to Arkansas in January and I feel like I've known her for years. And through her being here, I realized that God had no intention of sending me somewhere else like I had convinced myself He was, but that He wants me to stay in Arkansas
I mean, how does He come up with that??
I don't understand how He does it, but I'm thankful He does:)
So, what am I doing now, you ask?
I am staying in Arkansas. There, I said it. I am staying in Arkansas. At first I was not excited about that at all, but it's cool because each day I am realizing more and more why I am supposed to stay.
God is not going to send you somewhere that will be comfortable for you. He's not going call you to do something that you can do on your own. Then you wouldn't need Him.
Going to Africa or Russia or Colorado or New York or Washington would have been comfortable for me. I would have still done great things for God sure, but I wouldn't have needed Him very much because I would have been comfortable.
Right now, Arkansas is my mission field and I am growing to love it more and more.
So more specifically, I am living in Conway at Lindsay Skoog's house, helping out with Real Life in Cabot, and playing on the worship team in Cabot.
I'm so thankful that God's plans are better than my plans.
