TORONTO, CANADA
Did you think I was going to say Africa?!
When God says go, you go.... And that's what happened.
For one reason or another, a few weeks ago I caught myself praying about spring break plans. When I realized what I was doing I felt ridiculous, because what I wanted to be doing for spring break was to be laying on a beach somewhere. So why was I praying about it?
The next week in church the opportunity arose to participate in a trip to Toronto to help with a church plant. I thought about it... quickly thought about it... Because In case you don't know... Toronto isn't a beach! Throughout the following week I constantly thought about it and didn't like it at all. I quickly began to realize at these thoughts must be from the Lord, because they certainly were not fom selfish me!
Days later I verbally acknowledged my interested in the trip. This same week I joined team iPhone (Praise the Lord) and the day after my verbal acknowledgement, apple maps decided to randomly pop up on my phone (or maybe I don't know how to use it yet and caused it to pop up?)You will never guess what part of the map appeared... Yep, you guessed it! Toronto, Canada. Maybe you think I made it that up for the readers entertainment, but have you read my blogs? I am not that creative!
I know that I sounded bitter about the lack of beach only seconds ago; but the Lord has helped me rid me of myself... I AM SO EXCITED to spend spring break in Toronto! Truth is, it wouldn't be possible to be happy anywhere else but the place the Lord is calling me to!
So it's official. I am going to Canada!
Unfortunately when God tells you to go... He doesn't hand you a stack of cash to get there.... But He does promise to provide!
I am not worried about the monetary aspect of the trip, but I do acknowledge the need for "sacrafice," if you can even call it that, in order to make this trip possible.
So after this week I am going to attempt not to go out to eat until after my trip in attempt to save money! Help me out by not inviting me to lunch and dinner... Unless we are meeting on campus with packed lunch or at my house where we can cheaply cook!
This blog is scatter-brained and slightly random. I shall return soon with details on what we will be doing in Toronto! Stay tuned!
I love you, my readers!
