My First Entry


My devotional reading for this morning was more than interesting. My friend Gia gave me a devotional written by missionaries from around the world. Today's entry focused on a missionary traveling during the SARS scare several years ago. She mentioned that at every airport or entry, someone slapped a tape on her forehead to take her temperature. Hmm. Sounds like what I might be experiencing next week. With all the N1H1 aka swine flu talk in the media, it would be very easy to become frightened about traveling across the ocean in a confined space. I have chosen not to focus on the scare but focus on the fact that God has a plan for me, and if it's to get sick in some far away place, so be it. But I don't think that is what he has planned for me. Ephesians 2:10 tells me "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." He's brought me this far, I must believe that he'll take me the rest of the way. There have been many obstacles thrown in the way of this adventure, and I look forward to what he has planned for us.
