The Peace of God

I’ve had this strange peace about this mission trip that I couldn’t fully understand. I haven’t been overly stressed about packing, diseases, bugs, or even the fact that I still don’t know down specific details about what we will be doing or how we will be living. I wasn’t even entirely sure about what country we were starting in until I got to Atlanta for training. (For those of you that know me you know how crazy this is for me!)

At training camp we did exercises to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through us to each other and to ourselves. During this time with the Holy Spirit I realized this peace I’ve been feeling is a result of God’s perfect love and provision. Time and time again God has been proving to me that I am supposed to be on this trip and that no matter what happens He will provide and clear the path for His plans. From being fully funded in 2 months to providing me with the perfect size blanket provided by my church family God has proved his faithfulness to me.

Training camp was further proof that He is sovereign. Meeting my beautiful and amazing team and knowing He specifically placed everyone on their Passport team was a powerful experience. And then over the next couple of days getting to experience the depth and power of God was just further confirmation. I have felt so much more connected to God and have learned so much more about the power of the Holy Spirit that lives within me that I feel like if the trip ended now my life would already be impacted.

As I’m waiting in the Bangkok airport, just hours from being in Cambodia, I am blown away by my Heavenly Father and His perfect love that has brought me peace and comfort. I’m so excited to learn more about our wonderful God, the Holy Spirit, and my team. Please continue to pray for my team and that the Holy Spirit would lead us in all things.
