Tomorrow is a big day!
One of the leaders from NTM West Africa will be on campus, and will be helping answer some questions for candidates (like me) who are praying about whether or not God would have them serve there. There are some very real decisions coming up. It's exciting, but weird to think around how close it all could be. Moving overseas. Learning a new language. A new culture.
And I still don't know where that will be (West Africa? East Africa? Latin America? Somewhere not even on the radar at the moment?). Or exactly when I'll be going (should I stay for the extra year of linguistics training... should I just go straight into support raising/finding partners?) Tomorrow I will get what may well be the most in depth answers I am likely to get from the region I'm considering right now.
Please, please pray that my mind would be clear, that I would have wisdom to ask recognize questions that need to be asked that aren't on my list already, and that God would direct, and I would be sensitive to what He wants!
It's kind of overwhelming. Proverbs 16:9 is becoming a favorite verse: "The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps." ie- I make plans, but God decides what actually happens. God is SO good to re-direct me when I am seeking Him, but heading the wrong direction.
How on earth does anybody function without Him? I hope and pray God will use you and me to show those in darkness how very wonderful the Light really is!
