Details...

The closer we get to our trip date, the more my anticipation grows. I'm extremely excited to see not only what God does through me in another Country, but also what He does in my heart. The more research I do, the more my heart breaks for a country I've never been and for a people I have never met.  The anticipation and excitement about my trip is mixed with a slight nervousness regarding the details... funds, flights, etc... and even mixed among all of that, there's a peace I know comes only from my God. A peace that comes only from knowing He is in each of those details. He knows exactly how much money I will receive and when I will receive it. He knows exactly when my passport will arrive. He knows exactly what flight we will be on and how the weather will be that day. He knows exactly to whom I will speak while I'm there... whose hearts I will touch and who will touch mine... and in the midst of all these details and all this unknown, my God stands a rock. A fortress of firm foundation. All knowing and all powerful. My peace comes from knowing that the same God that called me to Guatemala is the very same God that works all things out for the good of those who love Him. It's in the very little details that I find my very big God.
