So Long Humidity!

Well it's a short little bit until I'm going to head to bed (hopefully no later than 8pm) because I got to get up at 330am. My heart is full of contentment and peace right now as I prepare to step out into the unknown for the next month. Although I'm going to Pinon, Arizona for my senior research project I'm really going on a secret missions trip. Just me and Jesus. I know nothing about the spiritual environment I'm going into and I'm not sure if my host family is very aware of it themselves either. I have no idea what hurt and desperation I'm going into...I have no idea what will be required of me to do this volunteering. But I have determined in my heart that I'm going to Pinon to serve. Over and over in church I have heard how the Native Americans have the top 50 diseases, how suicide and drunkenness are increasing, and just the desperation within the reservations. Today in Church we had a message about those who continue in the Word are Jesus' disciples, and it is this Word of Truth that will set us free. I was incredibly blessed when the church body covered me in prayer. A word came forward that this trip is coming at the right time, how God is going to move in power through me loving the Navajo people, how I need to step out in boldness and that I will begin to see the things I've cried out for in intercession coming into fruition. The Lord is my sustenance and in His presence is the fullness of joy. I've got the presence of Jesus inside of me (and so do you) and so wherever I go, so will Jesus. A word was also spoken that just as my last missions trip had such a powerful testimony that that would only be a nugget compared to the outcome of this trip. This is God's trip and He's asked me to be His instrument. And I believe what was spoken today that God is going to bless the work of my hands. It's a healing business. So OK God, my gaze is fixed on You. I only seek to bring you glory and praise through my service.
