pray with me

"You know what I am going to say 

even before I say it, Lord. 

You go before me and follow me.

You place your hand of blessing on 

my head."

Psalm 139:4-5

I read this over and over today at 12:00 in the afternoon knowing I had an interview with Praying Pelican Missions over the phone at 1:00 pm. I applied for their summer college internship in one of their host countries in which I would be apart of a 3-6 leadership team leading mission trips. Responsibilities could include lining up ministry opportunities and ministry sites, restaurants, recreation, and transportation. It could also include preparing breakfast and snacks, leading worship and debriefing, participating in meetings, and generally guiding each church’s trip. The goal is to use each team member’s strengths and interests to best serve the churches and groups. 

I prayed for God to give me words and to calm my heart. I prayed that I would trust that this is in His hands and He has already gone before me. I prayed that He would assure me that this burden on my heart for missions is from Him and not from me. I prayed He would be glorified through my words and His light would shine through me. 

I am confident in my answers. I am confident that God will use me whether I am accepted or not. I would be lying if I said I wasn't anxious to hear that I will certainly be leading teams and serving in Haiti next summer. 

Can I ask you to pray with me? Pray for my patience and strength until my next phone call from PPM. Pray for my friend, Caroline, who is also waiting on this call. Pray for clarity that this is God's will. Pray that God would continue to stir up this need on my heart. Pray that I trust Him to completely take care of me.
