There are only 8 days until I leave for Thessaloniki. It is absolutely thrilling knowing that I have no idea what God has in store for my future! I know I must continue to walk towards each step He has lit up on my path. That's not to say that there aren't moments of fear, worry, and anxiety. However, I do know those feelings aren't of God and I can rest assure that any plan I could come up with would never even come close to His plan.
It has been difficult putting into words how I am feeling at the moment. A dear friend helped paint a picture through words that got it right. Think of a trapeze artist. She swings from bar to bar in the air high above the ground. Holding on with both hands to one bar; there comes a time when she must let go in order to grab the other bar. This letting go must happen to complete her act and reach the other destination. There is a moment between both points where she is suspended....she has let go of one side and hasn't quite made it to the other. This is where I am. I know I must begin letting go of where I currently am in order to be ready to receive what God has instore for the future. I feel like I am between two worlds. It is akward and exciting; there are highs and lows. I wouldn't trade it for the world!!
I've learned that the more I try to fight it and gain control over the situation, the more difficult it becomes. I need to let go and let God do what only He does best. My job is to obediently listen and follow Him. He will take care of everything else...He always has.
