Hit the Ground Running

Now comes the battle.

I have the news that I can go to Hungary. The plans are set and rolling. I know the next steps that I have to take. So now I have to battle against worry and control. No sooner did Jimbo tell me how much money I am supposed to raise than I started worrying about how I was going to get it all. I started writing down names of everyone I knew and worrying if it would be enough. But then I had to sit back and remember. God made this happen. He opened these doors, He smoothed the path, He ordained this. How dare I start to take back control now? I've seen what He can do, especially surrounding this Hungary internship. I know that to Him, this amount of money is nothing. I know that to Him, traveling through unknown airports is nothing. I know that to Him, the brief amount of time I have to raise the money and get ready to go is nothing. I know that to Him, His people are worth all of this and more. He has shown me His love, that He was ready to move heaven and earth to be with us. What is a little money, time, travel, etc?

So its a constant battle. I definitely start trying to be in control, worrying about how I'm going to do it all. But the Spirit is quick to remind me that I'm not doing any of it! Jesus has been in control of this since June 22, 2010, when I set off for Hungary for the second time and God changed my heart. I am confident. I can rest in the Lord, in His power, and in His will. My sole desire is His glory in everything. I'm bathing this trip in prayer, every minute. Please be praying for me, that I would struggle and remember and trust.

Of course, there is an additional battle. How the heck am I going to get school work done when I know that I'll be back in Diosd for most of the summer?!?!
