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!

Wait upon the Lord.....
Our God is not a God of confusion... continue to seek His will and He will reveal it to you... You are saying, "Yes Lord." and that is what He seeks.... keep your eyes fixed upon Him and He will lead you into the plans He has for you....
You very likely are exactly where He wants you to be for this time....
Seeking Him....
"Be still and know that I am God."

ps.... none of us have the strength to just get on a plane and go to Africa.... but through His Spirit He gives us the strength to do the things He calls us to do... when His time comes for you to do so... if that is what He is calling you to do He will fill you with His strength to go......
