I finally know where I'm going!


So from the get go of this DTS, I felt like God was saying that He wanted to teach me patience in hearing his voice. God's timing is better than ours after all. Seriously, I'm a huge fan of knowing what I want to know when I want to know it. So this has been challenging. So guess what one of the things was God wanted to teach me patience with was, WHERE I GO ON MY OUTREACH! I had 2 options, Jordan or India. I have been very torn between the 2 and honestly had no idea where I wanted to go. Every day I'd ask God to tell me and every day I'd not be able to clearly hear Him. Actually I didn't hear Him give me an answer on where to go at all. So September 31st, I was starting to loose patience. I was actually demanding God that He tell me where I was going. So I felt God saying to get up and take a breath then come sit back down. So I did, and was like OHHH MAYBE GOD IS GONNA TELL ME NOW. So I do and then God gave me a page number in the Bible, I don't even remember the verse or page but this is what it said... "India!" Tricked ya! It actually said, "do not be hasty." I was like COMMON GOD I THOUGHT YOU WERE ABOUT TO SAY! SO by then I got the point that God wanted me to wait. Little did I know that He was going to have me wait as long as He possible could. It gets to the last day, October 5th, and we had 15 minutes left to know where we wanted to go. I had NO IDEA we had to know by then. So I asked Jessie and Kristen to pray for me and they did. So I went in this open field to lay down and just waited on God to speak. For probably 13 minutes I didn't hear anything. I could see everyone walking in to give their paper to Jessie saying where they were going. Was God really going to wait this long to tell me? The answer to that is yes. I kept feeling myself drawn to Jordan even though India seems more like a place I'd enjoy. So I prayed and finally I was like God just give me an I or a J. Like that would be AWESOME! Like here I am with one minute left please just tell me. So I feel like He said sit up and look in front of you. So I did, and long behold, there were flies on my leg. So I was like hmmm weird, then God was like look up a little more, so I look at my foot and there on my foot is the letter J. I have a picture of it. It's awesome how much it looks like J. And I felt so at peace that I was to go to Jordan. So yeah, that is where I am going, Jordan. :D
