Isaiah 55:8-9

For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD.

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are My ways higher than your ways

And My thoughts than your thoughts."

It's really been hitting me that I am not in control, I don't always know what God is doing, ok I rarely do. God is doing some amazing things right now that we cannot yet see. For instance all of my ministers back home are stepping down. There are no disagreements, no secrets, no indiscressions. The men are remaining at our church to serve as laymen. Why has God laid it upon their hearts to step down, we can only wait in anticipation.
As for myself I have even less of an iota of what lays ahead of me. By the grace of God I will finish my 8th and final year of college next year. Beyond that I want to be free to go as the Lord pleases. Recently I read a quote from J. Oswald Sanders, "Instead of planning on staying and being willing to go - plan on going and be willing to stay." I feel as though that is were I am at, and I am excited.
I leave for Haiti in a week and a half and I cannot wait to see what God will reveal of Himself this time. Its hard for me to believe that He is sending me. Who am I? Who am I to get to serve my Lord? Who am I to receive someones tithing? Who am I to get to have such an adventure with the Creator of all things? Why would He chose to send some bumpkin from po-dunk Kansas?
