Egypt Change

A couple of weeks ago I was told that the Egypt trip was canceled. As some of you can imagine I was extremely disappointed. I spent five days trying to figure out what happened and why. I didn't feel the same way that everyone else felt. People had dropped out because they didn't feel right about it. I'm not exactly sure what that meant for each individual, but I knew that I didn't feel the same way. How could God allow others to feel that way about going to Egypt and I just didn't?

I spent the last couple of weeks praying about what I should do and where I should go if at all. I had raised over $1000 and the number continued to rise and I didn't think I should tell people yet because I knew I would probably go somewhere else, but where? I wanted to make sure that I wasn't going on a mission trip to fulfill some desire I have within myself or to see the world and have another place to brag about being. I needed to know for myself that I was going because I was not only being obedient to the Lord I was doing what he has asked me to do.

When the funds continued to come in and I was reaffirmed by several friends that they would still support me no matter where I would go it helped me realize that it really was about doing the Lord's work. Yes, I want to see the world and experience new places. However I believe this desire helps in being willing to go anywhere the Lord calls me to go. I am not sure the destination, but I do know there will be a place.

There are a few possibilities for this summer. The one that stands out the most is the Dominican Republic. I really don't have many details to share right now, but I do know that the trip will be in June and we will be working with youth.

More details will come as the Lord leads me to the new destination. Keep you posted!!
