In the last week, I’ve written my soon-to-be Scottish home address on the back of about 100 prayer cards. The more I write it, the more real it becomes. I’m moving to Scotland. This is the real deal.
Some days I let discouragement, fear, doubt, and, quite frankly, pure unbelief take over. How in the world is this going to happen? I only have 10 weeks left in Oregon?!?! Is this really Jesus’ leading? What am I doing? I forget the excitement, anticipation, joy, and adventure that should be literally exploding out of every pore of my being. This is going to happen. There is plenty of time. And when God leads and speaks and guides, He always provides. “With man this is impossible, but not so with God. With God all things are possible.”
I am so excited. I’m learning how to rise above “feeling” and move into just plain old belief. Do I still trust Jesus even when my circumstances say there’s no way? He is so much bigger. He is so much better.
“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not put out the Spirit’s fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.” 1 Thess. 5:16–24
