Think about this for a minute...What does it take for a seed to grow, to fully mature?...
God has so many incredible things planned for us, and just over a year ago God told me the next step that I would be taking in my journey with Him. He revealed my future, where I was going to live, and He answered the question I had been asking for a long time; "What do You want me to do?" One year ago I returned from Costa Rica on a short term mission trip and it was here that God revealed that He had already started, and was going to continue preparing me to become a full time missionary! My first reaction, as it is with most things, was I want to do it NOW. Go home pack my stuff and go. Well that's not the way God works.We have to embrace patience and wait on His timing, and rarely does it line up with ours. I didn't know what God was needing me to do to prepare, my mind was just focused on getting there. God had planted the seed in my heart, it was new and needed nutrients to fully grow and develop. I needed to water it, give it light so that I can grow into what He needs me to be and what He is preparing me for.
"Then Abraham waited patiently, and he received what God had promised"
Hebrews 6:15
I didn't know that God needed me right where I was to grow in Him, to get closer to Him, to prepare, to serve, lead and go through many tests and trials before He was going to reveal when it was time for me to go. I have been able to press into God and see many of the gifts He has given me that I never knew I had. God has prepared me to GO and be His hands and feet. I am super excited that NOW is the time, and He is sending me back to Costa Rica, my promise land!!! But I know that I can't do it alone, I am going to need PRAYER. I want to ask that you keep me in your prayers as I continue to prepare and return to continue doing the work that God has called me to do. I am also going to need financial partners, I would love for you to prayerfully consider partnering with me. If God lays it on your heart you can find the information on the "financial support" tab in my blog. As soon as I have 75% of my monthly support committed I will be on a plane, and I can't wait to be back in Costa Rica, walking out the call that God has placed on my life!!!
