Can I Go Now?

Goodness!! God does not need to do any more pressing on my heart to tell me that my treasure truly is somewhere deep in the heart of missions. My heart is leading my mind/thoughts every which way lately, and I just do not know where to go from here. All I know is that I NEED to get out of here! I desperately need to be somewhere where I am fully relying on God for my everyday needs, and somewhere were the only thing to do is love on people who need love and worship our GREAT God and Father.

Why can't I just be out of high school already so that I can just go to the Home Sweet Orphanage in Uganda, and spend as long as I want there?!? My heart hurts every time I think of the fact that I could and SHOULD be there right now. But no, a little girl can't just get on a plane by herself and travel around the world to a place she has never been! Really? Do the people around me not remember the God they serve and worship! My God would protect me, and He would lead me wherever He would want me to go.

WHY WON'T YOU JUST LET ME GO?!?!?



 

Just a few minutes ago, I was reading back at my blog posts from this time last summer, and I was brought to tears just thinking back at the feelings and the passion I had last year to go to Uganda.

I will go to Uganda.

I will serve God where He leads me.

I will do what He asks of me, no matter where I am at in my life.

I will go no matter what the people around me say.

 

This is what God has called me to do,

And I must listen to Him,

For I serve Him.

 

 



Earlier today, I was reading my Bible, and I went to my computer to crosswalk.com and I searched "go", to search for all the times it uses that word in the Bible. I made it go to just the New Testament times it is used, and almost every time in the four Gospels, it was Jesus telling the disciples to go and do something to greater God's Kingdom. Go get food for the people. Go find this sinful person for they are going to eat with me. Go and make disciples of all people.
I came to Acts 9:6, and this is when Saul becomes a Christian, and this verse says, "'Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.'"
Saul/Paul was not Told what he was going to be doing, he was just told to GO! Shouldn't this be how our everyday lives should be as Christ followers? Just waking up and asking God to lead us where He wants us to go/do. Just going into our city and town listening for God to tell us what to do next. He does not have to tell us our itinerary every morning for the day ahead of us, He just tells us to go, and we need to listen and obey. Who would want to disobey the God and King of the universe?!?

2 Timothy 4:2,5

"Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction.

But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministries."
