I am shocked!

Is it possible that my trip is already upon me? In a few days I will leave. It used to be like 40 days away and now, well, it's nearly here! I just want to encourage you for a minute. Please trust and rely on God and Him only and with all of your heart. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" says Proverbs 3:5. It's so easy to lean on other's-and yourself- because they are here with us in body! In Pslams 9:10, as well ast many other places, God gives us reasons to trust Him. He won't let us down. Trusting God is really hard isn't it but know that you aren't the only one that wants to and is trying to! A ton of the time we're like, "I'm all alone" and sometimes, it will just be you standing up for the truth--and it will happen. Please trust God's word and hold it as truth more than anything else. We can learn God's likes and dislikes (yes, even God has those!), what he loves and hates, what he wants of us, etc. I've written it before but maybe God doesn't just say, "Don't do this _____"-you fill in the blank-because he wants us to seek Him.
Just because I am going to Italy doesen't mean I can serve God more. Serve Him right here. Sometimes we have to do that before we can go oversees. Look for ways to serve because it's not going to be easy and it's not on our radar. Sometimes you won't feel like it-do it anyway. Love, or serving, isn't just feelings, it's actions, right? Pursue the Lord. He loves us more than we could ever possibly know! Maybe it's one of those things that we can't wrap our head around. God is love and let's love each other. Can I post something that my sis posted on her Facebook page? You love Jesus as much as the person that you like the least.
Follow God regardless of anything else!
