Trusting God for Tomorrow

     There are very few people who I trust completely, but I trust God more than I trust myself. Which is a really good thing, because we don't always have the same plans or ideas and we definitely don't have the same timing (I like everything to be done yesterday and He always works in a way that shows His glory, i.e. much later than I am usually comfortable with). In fact it's only because I trust Him so much that I can walk or sometimes jump into the unknown. But that is how it should be. The fact is that Africa has always been His plan for my life and not mine. Yes, I am on board now but He is still leading the way, and that's how I want it to stay.

     In the past five months (since He told me to "Go") He has provided for my every need and in ways that I never could have imagined. It is so comforting to know that I do not have to worry about today let alone tomorrow because He has already made a way. Five months ago I needed about $20,000 to go to Gabon and Uganda for about a year and a half. Through the generosity of others I've been able to buy my tickets (4 tickets actually) and send off for my visas. What has been amazing for me is seeing how God works. He could easily have had given me everything at the very beginning but instead I've have experienced more support and love then ever before. Because honestly, it isn't about the money, what God is doing is a lot bigger. This isn't even about me really, again God's plan is much bigger. I am just someone who is going, God is the one who is doing everything.

     This has been my mindset for the last few months, I've been surprisingly worry free (you'd think I'd be freaking out) and have had so much peace the whole time. I know God will provide for today and when tomorrow comes He will provide for that, what could I have to worry over? Today, is April 24th. A month from now I'll be flying to Gabon, Africa. Today, is also the day when I need to pay for all of the expenses regarding the Gabon part of my trip. That is $2,700. Well, today is here and I am waiting expectantly on God to show up and provide in His perfect way. I'm not worried, $2,700 is nothing for God. I'm actually excited, I can't wait to see how God works!!
