Really? Me? Really?

It is crazy! It is ridiculous! It is sooo stinkin' radical! God has called me, ME, to move to Africa! I still can't believe it! Everyday I think "Really, ME?" "What happened to me? Since when is this 'normal' and 'ok'?" Everyday I have to take EVERY thought captive as I ponder all the pieces- big and small- that have to fall into place before I can officially step on African soil again. I know I have already started building a HUGE testimony! But, for this to come together, God is gonna have to pull off some stuff that is nothing short of a miracle in my opinion... This is a short list of some of those 'pieces' that need to fall into place: loving homes for my cats, thousands of dollars upfront AND committed monthly, what to do with my car- sell it?, and my infamous debt! Eiy-yie-yie! My head is starting to spin, can you see it?
I totally feel the draw of a comfort zone of NO risks, NO work calling me(especially as I keep trying to be obedient in losing weight as well)... it is an ugggh! do I have to? couldn't I just stay here, maybe take a nap, not worry about it... It would be so much easier you know? But I also realize that with NO risk, and NO work comes NO reward, NO promise land, NO blessing, JUST more of the same... If God is on the move, I need to be moving with Him. I don't want to be left behind! Do you? Besides, what could be greater than stepping into the divine will of God? I mean, right there you are totally setting yourself up for a 'win'! Aren't you?

I think one of my next posts will be to let you know some of the revies and verses that are pulling me along and give me gas to keep stepping out of the 'box'!
