Troubled Heart

I dont even know the words to describe how I feel. Tonight as I'm getting ready for bed I get an overwhelming feeling that this is not where I am supposed to be. As tears are streaming down my face I ask myself "If I know this is not where I am supposed to be then how do I know where I am supposed to be?" I feel sure that the Lord is calling me to Africa...but where do I go? There are so many places I could go.. but where to start? I feel like I should just get on a plane and go and let the Lord direct me from there...but am I that strong? I honestly wish my answer to that question was "Yes, I am strong enough to just get on a plane and have faith that the Lord will show me where to go." I want to have that much faith and that much trust...but to be honest it is hard!


As I am writing this I went to google to look up some verses (because I dont have my Bible next to me) and this is the first thing I read:


"My presence will go with you, and I will give you peace" Exodus 33:14


"It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." Deuteronomy 31:8



So if we know we are not where we are supposed to be, but dont know where we are supposed to go, what do we do? My answer is look to God, listen to His voice, and follow Him!

Passion 2010

This weekend was Passion 2010! There is so much to process that I'm not going to share it all right now but I do want to share one of my highlights from the week.

We went to the Hillsong United concert last night and left a little bit early so that we could catch the marta back to our hotel instead of being stranded in downtown Atl at 1 in the morning. When we got to the platform where our train was going to come there were about 100 other college students that had the same idea we had. We started riding down the escalator and heard everyone sing praise songs to our Savior! We joined in and had an amazing time waiting for our marta to come! It was such a wonderful thing to see! Heres a video of it!!
