God, do you really think WE are ready for a mission trip??? I asked that question over and over again when Matt and I first felt the probing from God to serve the people of Guatemala. I am really not sure why we always question what God asks us to do-we need God to make things so obvious to us--and that is what I asked God to do for me. I prayed for him to make it obvious to me if it was His will that I go on this trip to Guatemala. That night I woke up at least every hour, every time thinking Guatemala, Guatemala! The next morning, a little weary eyed, I knew without a doubt that God had a plan for me to go on this mission trip! I was super exhausted and super excited. Matt still had yet to make that decision-by the end of the week, we had decided to make the Guatemala Mission Trip 2011, our 10th anniversary trip! How awesome is that!
In the last two years, God has completely changed our lives, set us on his straight path. Matt and I had travelled far from where God would want us to be and our marriage had collapsed. Biblical counseling at Harvest Bible Chapel and reading (and living) the Word of God brought us together as nothing else could. The changes in us and the preservation of our marriage can only be credited to God, the truth of his Word, the Redeeming power of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit alive in us today. What better way to Glorify God than to serve God on this mission trip for our 10th anniversary! I consider our lasting marriage a miracle work of God's hands---and I can't wait to see more of his amazing work....in Guatemala!
