It is just over four weeks since I have arrived in Jbay and a lot has happened. From saying goodbye to my family to greeting my new team. It has been somewhat challenging and God has especially been challenging me to trust him
In the last three weeks God has specifically challenged me to trust Him with my finances, my family, the journey, the year, my ability to lead the team and my future. He has challenged me to basically trust him with everything and because I initially failed doing so it felt like a mountain on my shoulders. Thankfully He is faithful even when we are not and He has sent people to encourage and uplift me in this time and for that I am so thankful.
God took me back to all the times when he was there for me and he restored me. I don’t know his plan for me in this year but I hold on to the scripture that I believe he has given me for this year. Jos 1:1-9 with specific focus on 9.“ This is my command-be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
I know he will be with me as I travel through Africa this year giving me the wisdom and knowledge to lead the team. I also know what I have through Christ that gives me the strength and I know that I am not putting my trust in just anything. I am putting my trust in the creator of the universe and He is real. And because I know that, I will trust him with my finances, my family, the journey, the year, my ability to lead the team and my future. I will trust with that and more, I will trust him with everything!
