The last time I boarded a plane to Europe, there was about 30 other people with me from my church. It was a wild adventure that included sightseeing, skiing, laughter, missions conference, and a cancelled flight from British Airways because of a lovely labor strike :)
It was an amazing time, and when I believed the Lord really started to confirm a call to serve in Europe as I heard different missionaries describe the urgent needs.
Today is another story! But an incredible one nonetheless. I board today's flight by myself, but not alone for our great and glorious Lord is with me. And He truly is sufficient I have learned. Not that I don't have those usual butterflies in the stomach and some of that anxiety that lurks that is so common to our humanity. But God has been teaching me that we can "know and rely on the love God has for us" 1 John 4:16
Not to mention the beauty of Psalm 139 that says there is no where we can be on this planet that God doesn't see us and is intimately acquainted with our hearts and lives and paths before us. Praise Jesus for this truth!
One more scripture I'll share with y'all that God gave me this morning. It's in the book of Job of all places.
Job 23:14 "For He will complete what He appoints for me,and many such things are in his mind"
WOW! Yes, He starts the work, and finishes it and to think we are on the very mind of God.
Ok..taking off here shortly to London! How I love that city.
