So faithful, So constant

In January 2010, I started a journal. I would write quite often about all that was on my mind and in my heart. All that God was doing and how He was moving through me. The other day I was looking through my journal and it gave me a jolt of encouragement. I saw all that God had done in my life in the year of 2010. It reminded me of how faithful God is. He will never leave us! And He's making a way for His plan to come to pass in our lives! How much better could it get?


As I was reading through my journal I came across an entry where I was devoutly seeking God. It was around March. And I was planning on going to college, and living a normal life. Then God came and intervened. He told me that He has something better. So, I said OK. I felt as if I was left in the dark. I had no idea what to do or what God wanted from me. For months I waited...and waited. Then, finally...I had an answer! God wanted me to go to Guatemala. Yes! It was the true desire of my heart. But...wait...how was I going to get there? In the natural it seemed impossible. What would I do? The standard age for a missionary with the ministry there is 25 years old. And I was only 17. But I still found peace. I found peace in the one option that left me no answer. 


God took care of me. He provided for me, and gave me the opportunity to do something that has eternal value. It looked impossible, but God made it happen. He told me, "I will take care of you because you are faithful to follow me." God is faithful. But we have to be faithful too. Faithful in the small and He'll give us more. Matthew 25:21 says, "Well done my good and faithful servant. You have been good in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities." 


God gave me a dream. And as I was faithful to seek Him and His will, He revealed more to me. And He made a way for my dream to become a reality. I now get the opportunity to live out this dream that's so deep in my heart. And guess what? It's awesome.
