So the past couple of weeks I have not been on any mission trips, but have been able to help with the ground work for two international trips and a few local projects. I have enjoyed the groundwork for the mission trips and it has been hard for me knowing that all the groundwork I am helping with are for trips that I am not able to go. I have learned many more things about what it takes to plan a trip and in case you are reading this and have never planned a trip, you cannot imagine how much work goes into planning one (or three at the same time). I have been blessed to help a medical team that is going on a trip as well as a college group going on a trip. We are also hoping to have a few more groups do more work here in my home state in Alabama and I will be helping to coordinate these groups too. I also have been blessed to work with others that are unable to go on mission trips but often help with the groundwork. I have also experienced a couple of frustrations the past couple of weeks that I don't want to get into, but I know God is teaching me and helping guide me past some frustrations. Lord willing I will go on another trip in about two weeks and in the meantime I will continue to help with the ground work for at least three groups (possibly four) as well as learning more and serving in the local church that I am serving. There are soo many opportunities for ministry, serving, building relationships, among other things that I am able to take part.
The Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ has compelled and called me to service and my hope lies in the Holy Spirit to fill my life and speak through me to bring hope to the hopeless, mourn with those who mourn, rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep, all to bring Glory to my Heavenly Father. Prase God from whom all blessings flow.
P.S. In case you are wondering I am doing yard work in my free time :)
