Ready and Willing

As of now there are only 6 weeks left until all things are a-go! I hate airports but I am so excited to be sitting on a plane en-route to my destination for the summer. But before this adventure ensues many things are afoot. Weddings to be in, finals to finally finalize, A junior year of college to bid adieu, and other little loose ends that are not really tied until the very hour I step foot in the airport.

It's starting to be a crazy life I lead the closer I get to graduating from here. The closer I get to a life completely focused on ministry the more I feel the pressure and the will to grow up.

Call it my internal clock ticking away.


The more I have the will to grow up, the more giddy (the irony of it all!) I get when I envision future opportunities to share Christ in the world. Apparently we never stop being  a child of God, even when we are to be adults in this world.

Anyway, in all of this growing up there are things I am not to giddy about, like my uncertain future financially.
But Emilie, missionaries give their financial troubles to God.
While this is true and missionaries as well as any Christian should give financial anxiety up to God, we are to be responsible and proactive as well. Never should we sit on our bums waiting for God to miraculously shower down hundred dollar bills like manna from the sky.

I think debt is the leading cause of anxiety attacks in the U.S., ok maybe that's something I just made up. So on my free time, ahem..when I make free time (procrastination sometimes counts as free time), I am researching things for my future financial situation.

But for now I am praising God that he has brought me through my current needs financially. He has met me in my needs many times, not just financially but in every aspect, and he will be with me as I step foot on the plane.

All to God
