Travel for the better

I am sitting in the airport in Sydney and writing this so that I can keep everyone up to date. After a partly sleepless night, because who can REALLY sleep sitting up in a hard chair, I am now sitting again and waiting for my next flight. I have already learned somethings about myself that I wanted to have as apart of  my character, but never could show. I am stronger than I realized. I thought for sure I would break down and cry all the way here, but in fact I have actually gotten more excited. I have realized that I have been prepping for this my whole life. I have ALWAYS wanted to be in this part of the world and I have always had a heart for people who reacted to life the same way I do. I am just to honored and humbled at this realization that I came to. God has ALWAYS had this in His plan and to see it all unfold is incredible. Even just this short time I have been gone has changed relationships for the better, God has freed me from bondages in relationship and given me a clearer perspective. I am so excited to see what I am about to learn, see, experience and be apart of. This past summer for me has been challenging to say the least. God has required me to surrender, to sever, to release, and to stand firm in the things that He has called me to no matter what. I am only here because I past that test and He has allowed me to move on. Things may not be wrapped up in me and tied with a nice little bow, but I don't believe that is what God wants this time. I believe He wants me to FULLY rely on Him no matter what comes my way. I am just so blessed that He knows what I can handle and although it may feel like I am past the point of stretching at times, He is FAITHFUL to show me that I am stronger and able, in His Strength, to walk through the fire. Thank you Lord for showing me that so that I am not just comfortable in my christian life but that I can do the BIG things you have called me to, in YOUR strength. I look forward to this journey and know that you will use me as long as I remain available. Please give me child-like faith for the rest of my life. This may not be the result every time I travel but I know that God is more concerned with His Cause, than my comfort.
