"Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."
Psalm 19:4
Today I made my first payment into my YWAM fund. I therefore solidified that I was going. YIKES! No longer is attending YWAM a fall dream, it is a undeniable reality. I am now having difficulties perceiving the now. There is an abundance of details that are in need of planning and so much to do. No longer does August seem to be a far off month. Yet God is saying, "Focus here. Be at Central." It would appear as though God is telling me to trust Him and live everyday in complete surrender and trust. How?
I reread an e-mail I receive almost 2 years ago from a teacher who e-mailed the student body after the death of his son, a peer of mine. The e-mail was all about how my story is will impact somebody whether I know of this or not. That impact I make can either be negative or positive, I have the choice on which it will be. The e-mail ends by saying, "You matter to the people you touch, and the people they touch, and the people they touch, and on and on and on. They are all going to tell your story. So what will your story be?"
I desire my story to be one of a love so deep for my Heavenly Father, those around me recognized my trust in Him. Just as the birds of the air trust God will provide them food and the lilies of the field trust God will provide them with rain and sunshine, I am to trust God that He will bring provision. I am to choose. There comes a point in every faith walk when God has presented Himself and His word abounding in promises and God makes us choose. God has given us the proof of His trustworthiness, loyalty, compassion, mercy and love. Now I am to choose if I would like to put my trust in a deity comprised of those attributes. I am choosing to trust and be present, praying that my voice will go out into all the earth, and my words given to me by God will go to the ends of the world.
So, what will your story be?
