Moses, Moses, Moses

13 days and counting! Is that scary or what? Time goes so quickly, it seems. I must say that I am really struggling trying to prepare for this trip! Some moments I'm ready to just get going, and other moments I'm terrified! Of what? I'm not exactly sure. I guess I just can't believe I'm going to be away from everything that I'm comfortable with, everything familiar, everything "safe" and everyone I love for so long! And I know in the grand scheme of things, two months is not long at all, but it sure feels like it! *sigh*

At times, I feel like Moses in Exodus 4. At times I want to ask God to just send someone else! I'm not ready, and I'm not qualified for such work! Its easy to look at that passage and think how foolish Moses was to question God. I mean, if the voice of God coming through a burning bush spoke to you and told you to do something, wouldn't it be a "duh" moment? But the more I think about it, the more I think I'm in the same spot Moses was: scared to death at what is being asked of me! I haven't been asked to do anything grand, glorious, or seemingly next to impossible, and no, I havent heard the voice of God from any burning bushes lately. But service is service, right? I know where God is asking me to be right now and I plan to obey. The problem is that I am at war within myself: the servant side vs. the selfish side. And what good is service if its done in the wrong attitude?

In the two weeks to come (and beyond, of course!), please be praying that my selfish side will cease, so that I can be as effective as possible in whatever opportunity I have the privilage of serving in!

Thank You God for sending me!
For Christ and His glory,
