The Lord is up to something

So 2 months ago I grabbed starbucks with the pastor. I sat down and asked how his week was, but he didnt want to talk about that. He cut to the chase telling me that i was living a very safe and comfortable life. At the rate i was going i would look back in 40 years having accomplished NOTHING for the kingdom but i was just safe. Needless to say I kinda sat there in a daze thinking "holy crap he's right!" Long story short I realized I needed take a step and trust the Lord to plant my feet. He told abraham to "go" but didnt tell him where when why how and for what purpose. It has always been clear to me that God was telling me to "go" but i was waiting for him to answer my 20 questions. I thought i was waiting on God but he was waiting on me.

So I put in an application with an "m" agency. A good one i have known for a long time. I told them about my desire to go to a specific country (if you know me you can guess which one) and it turns out they were praying for someone to go to this country. A few days later i "just so happened" to apply. They unanimously accepted my application in 1 day. I told the office everything and they gave me time off to raise support (read Nehemiah 1 and 2 thats exactly what happened to me). So far everything has fallen into place

April 17th I will going over to this city (there is a reason I am not saying which country or city so don't ask-security) to meet with the leadership. We are looking at me working as a teachers assistant at a bible school while continuing to take classes and learn. Please pray that this 2 week trip is christ honoring and that his will is done. As of now I will be leaving the end of august to move over there for 2 years.

There is a heck of a lot more to say, and many more things that he has done to proclaim his name but I will post those later. Just wanted to give peeps a heads up to pray for/with me and labor with me in the gospel.

peace!
