The Will of God December 31, 2007

“The will of God will never take you, where the grace of God cannot protect you.” 

So here I am, twenty and seven, married with two kids and about to start an amazing adventure with God.

I have always wanted, dreamed and fantisised about going into the world and preaching the gospel.  I had many romantic thoughts of leaving it all behind to follow God across the seas.  I never thought I’d be taking two kids under 5 to a third world country.  As I begin this journey, I am ever more depending of the grace of our God to see me through.  When I picture my life in Papua New Guinea (by the way I’ve never been before so I can’t picture it easily) I am depending on the grace of my Lord to carry me. 

A friend of mine told me that she wants to live dangerously for the Lord.  I want to live fearlessly for Jesus.  To be a “yes” woman for God.  A true servant that is willing to do anything and go anywhere.  Surrender all and not look back. 

As we get closer to our departure, I feel more and more sure that I cannot do this.  But HE CAN!!!  My I AM is with me. 

So buckle up, and follow me as I serve the Lord…

Love to all,

Carina
