Well, I should have known as soon as I committed to going to Israel for a mission trip that life would begin to get difficult. Not just your day to day little fires but big storms. I believe in spiritual things. I believe there is an evil one and that he desires to make our life miserable and will try everything to discourage us as we choose to walk in the ways of the Lord and when we commit to do something for God that seems impossible. When I committed to going, Satan knew the impact. The impact in my own heart, in eternity, and in the lives of those in the community. Not that I have a special skill that will help them in a huge way but hopefully I can provide comfort. Maybe bring encouragement or be a shoulder to cry on but right now I am feeling a tad overwhelmed with life.
It might have been easier to just stay in bed today. The winds are like a hurricane. It's that feeling of this is too difficult and the foggy feeling swirling in my head says you aren't doing so good. The situations and circumstances seem daunting. BUT GOD...says, "they aren't too big and you will not have to fight this battle, do not be afraid, do not be discouraged...for I am with you (2 Chronicles 20:17)." Jesus said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." So, I choose to stand in faith, believe what God says and press on!
The pain reminds this heart that this is not my home!
