Extraordinary things from ordinary people...

"It is inbred in us that we have to do exceptional things for God; but we have not. We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things, to be holy in mean streets among mean people, and this is not learned in five minutes."

Oswald Chambers

"Strength is for service, not status."

Romans 15:1-2

I am sitting in the airport with less than an hour till my departure. All around, people are speaking in fluent Spanish, and I can't help but wonder how I'll ever understand what they are saying. The last few days have been a rush of comings, goings, and doings. With scarcely any time to reflect, I am now taking a moment to look forward towards the unknown.
The realization of what I am undertaking has not hit yet, but I don't worry. I have the God of the Universe on my side; why should I fret. I'm not amazing or extraordinary in what I am doing...I am just following His lead. He always makes a way in the unknown. He always takes ordinary people and does amazing things. I am so excited about seeing Him move, touch lives, and forever change the course of one person's destiny. My only prayer is that, somehow, He will use me. If I am willing, I know He can. And I am willing. God, this journey lies in Your wonderful hands. Together, here goes!
