This is my new motto:
“Close My Eyes and Blindly Follow” Why? Because this is what the Lord is teaching me. It is not for me to understand, for me to analyze, for me to discover, nothing of that kind, it is for me to
FOLLOW. Many times my personality jumps out ahead of me and I feel as though I must/need/want desperately to understand and know all things, especially when it comes to things happening in my own life. But it is not time for that. It is time for me to stand on my faith and belief that God has my life in His hands and He knows what He is doing.
With that said…I’m closing my eyes, taking God’s hand and letting Him lead me where ever He wants. Like a little girl trusts her own Father, I will trust my heavenly Father.
Where does He want me to go?
AFRICA!
Do I want to go?
YES!
Am I extremely excited to be able to serve my God there?
YES!
Am I still a little weary about it?
YES!
Do I still trust my God?
YES!
I know I worry to much but God has called, touched, and annoited me to go so I will not falter, I will go.
I think that’s an excellent motto! I am in love with sayings like that because then they stick in your head in times of trouble to give us hope again. Same with memory verses. Anyways, Im excited to meet you:)
Great article and great pictures! When we place our lives in God’s hands to be the leader and we be the follower, it always works out better.
This is really awesome Melissa, I appreciate your heart and I cannot wait to get to know you!
Thats a great thing to live by, I need to work on that same thing, I am a bit weary but I want to follow what God has for me.. because His plan is ALWAYS better than our plan.
Hey you are already an amazing encouragment in my life. Just your blog page and the e-mails and stuff. I love this post it really gets what I think a lot of us are feeling right now. Walking blindly, like after I step off that plane and come back home I have no idea what anything in my life looks like. No plans, no colleges, nothing and ya not having an idea for my life is a little odd, but God has us. Dang it I’m blogging on your page…sorry, anyway thanks 😉 Love ya!
hey! its really nice to know that their is someone else who God is saying “let me behind the wheel now.” i love how you put that and i will never forget that saying!! cant wait to talk to you more! 🙂
