As my trip to Africa approaches, so does Christmas! Christmas has always been a big deal in my family and is by far my favorite day of the year. The past few years have been even more exciting with little ones around.
The other day I was thinking about Christmas, and the fact I will not be with my family this year. It made me sad, and super emotional. I thought to myself, there is no way I can make a big enough impact for it to matter. There is no way the difference I would make would be worth missing Christmas.
The fact it...that is the truth. "I" can not do anything. GOD CAN. God isn't sending me to Africa for ME to do anything....He is going to do the work through me. Conveniently I cane across a wonderful scripture that clarified this for me.
"But Lord,' Gideon asked, "how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family" -Judges 6:15
Just like the Lord spoke to Gideon, He is speaking to me. yes.... I am weak, just like Gideon was, but God is Sovereign and all powerful.
My devotional book said, "You're right in that no one is worthy to serve God, but the problem is that doesn't matter to God.".... I am so glad that what I think doesn't matter to him!
I AM SOOO EXCITED ABOUT GOING TO AFRICA AND SEEING WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO THROUGH WEAK ME!!!!
