Life. It sure does get the best of me sometimes, especially right now. It honestly seems like I have lost any form of stability I thought I had over my life, how ignorant I am. When will I ever learn that the life I live is NOT MY OWN. I struggle with understanding God's will for me all the time. I know that I have been called to serve others, but aren't all Christian's called to serve?
I have been called to serve in what seems to be one of the most violent countries in Africa. Sudan. As a college student I wrote a research paper on a photograph which revealed the starvation and complete hopelessness of a young Sudan child basically dying in front of the photographer's eyes. Since I discovered the photo it has caused me to be more driven towards my calling in life.
However, life really takes a turn when you least expect it. One day I think my life is going great then God 'gives and takes away'. I will praise You in this storm. I denied my calling for a few weeks due to the thought of losing something very important to me and since that time, I discovered that I have lost nothing at all.
Currently, I am remaining faithful that the Lord will guide me through my trials and that He will provide a way for me when it comes time to serve those in need. I am realizing that we as Americans are selfish, ungrateful people. When was the last time you thought about the inhumane treatment in third world countries, or the starving child born with HIV in South Africa? America is NOT the only country on this planet; we must become selfless.
Dear Lord, I pray that those who come in contact with this blog use it in a positive way, a way not to twist words or to gossip but in a way to become more knowledgeable and aware of You. Amen.
