I feel like I am constantly asked "What is your plan?" when I tell people I have quit school to one day go into the mission field overseas. And I feel that what they are essentially asking is "what is your 5 yr, 10 yr, or life plan". Unfortunately, I don't have one.
Or at least a solid one. My goal is to one day live life in a community of nobodies, showing them Jesus- being the feet and hands of a Man who gave everything for me. So why should I not give everything for Him? And that is what I plan on doing. That IS my life plan.
But the title of this post is about something different.
This post is amount a dream that will (hopefully) be fulfilled.
Those who know my heart well know that since I was around 12 or so I have wanted to go to India. I had no idea why. I had no specific issue on my heart or anything specific area in India. I just knew I wanted to go. I knew I HAD to go. And for almost 10 years I have waited, usually rather impatiently, for an opportunity to go. Two years ago, I enrolled in the DTS here in Madison with the intent of going to India. Last year, for my outreach with YWAM Madison, I went to Thailand (as you know).
However, what most of you do not know is the struggle. The desire to obey God and yet the want to fulfill a dream that I felt God was snatching from me. I struggled because I had told people that I was finally going to be able to go to India, and yet I felt like God was saying no. What kind of God would do that?- The good kind. The kind that wants what is best for me.
This year though....this is the year. I am going to Nepal and India.
