Gulp!

The end of May is coming fast and still there is nothing on the physical plane that indicates I will be leaving for the Dominican this month. However, May is not over. I have time left! Anything and everything could happen.

Nevertheless, I am confronted by all sorts of questions:

• Did I misread God?

• Did I understand correctly?

• Was it a figment of my imagination?

• Will I be shamed because I didn’t go as I thought I heard from God?

• Will it then be blasted that I probably hadn’t heard from God?

• Perhaps I don’t have the “411” with God that I thought I had?

Then my trip has been blasted-out by the pastor to everybody that I would be leaving in May. Yet, he has never talked to me about the trip, has never shared anything about mission trips, or even encouraged me, yet he feels it’s okay to throw my “business” out before everyone?

The fact that I’ve been the first “resident” to go on a mission trip (last year in November) having received no financial support through the ministry has yet to be acknowledged.

In fact, I'm sad to say, that there are going to be Christians who are both a mortal enemy and a spiritual brother/sister.

Nonetheless, I know that God spoke to me about living in the Dominican. I simply plan to be a faithful servant.

Perhaps, like Moses, God wants to see the depths of my devotion – will I choose my comfort and convenience over His?

I’m going to follow God because through my many trials & tribulations I know He has always had the best plan for me. A plan neither I nor anyone else could have created.

Continue to shine His Light, and be a Traveling Light for the world!
