Valleys and Mountains

If you have ever doubted that God has a plan for your life throw it out! The way that God works in and through our lives is more than the word mind-blowing could ever cover. You know how you sometimes get in to a spiritual "funk" and you have no clue how you got there or how to get out, and sometimes the circumstances seem more than you can handle. I was just in one of those, and God had to remind me that I mean so much to Him. He reminds me who I am in Him and why I am here in the first place. I am His and He is mine.  I decided to follow Jesus, no turning back! Christ is enough for me! Everything I need is in You! (Okay so you should also know that one of the ways that God speaks to me is through songs. Right now I am listening to the songs that we are going to be singing at church tonight and God is restoring my heart and my focus. If you haven't heard Christ is Enough by Hillsong Live and Great are You Lord by All Sons and Daughter then I highly recommend you let these songs be added to your worship playlist. I put them here so your ears can embrace this harmonious sound. :) ) Lately I have been under a whole lot of stress about where I am going to go on missions, for spring break and summer. I want so desperately to do exactly what God wants me to do that if any good or bad thing happens, it sways the thoughts about what I think God wants me to do. So in the end I am left with still not knowing what God wants me to do or even what I want to do. 

Today a great Godly friend of mine told me that there can be multiple directions you can go, with some decisions, and still be in Gods will. I was struggling with deciding which mission trip to go on and if I should do missions in the summer or work so I will have money for school next year. I want God to just tell me what to do and let that be that, but sometimes God lets us decide. Our mission field is where we are and whether we are in a different state, country, or even in our own home town, that is our mission field. God has so many blessings for us but we can be so uptight about doing everything perfect that we miss the little gifts He gives us. God loves us so much and He tells us there are people out there that don't know that there is an Almighty God that loves them and wants them to have a relationship with Him! I pray that we have open eyes to see the mission field that has been set out in front of us!
