Not a little girl...

I am continuing to recognize all that God is doing to prepare me for YWAM. It seems like all the people and things that I cling to the most and depend upon have begun to slowly slip away... and its a little bittersweet. It's so overwhelming to think about the future. Where I'll be after YWAM, what I'll do when I  get home, meeting someone, getting married... what will it all look like? Lately, I've really been asking myself "Who does God want me to be?" And I know, with everything in me, that I want to do whatever it is that He has planned. It's just a little scary to think about what it might cost me. And, I'm just going to be honest, at times, I wish I was ten again... dancing around in my favorite hand-me-down, lace dress and pretending to be a bride. When my deepest concern was whether I was going to get to spend the night with my best friend, or not! I miss those days... when pain was scraping my knee and fear was the spider on my bedroom floor. As you grow older you realize that there are much worse things than not having a date for the Christmas dance or not being nominated "Most Likely to Succeed". Honestly, who really even cares? There comes a time when you look closer and realize that it doesn't matter. And I guess, whether I like it or not, I'm growing up. I'm ready to focus my everyday around Him, and bring glory to His Name in everything I do. Just be praying for me, and my jumble of emotions! There is so much going on! I can't exactly make sense of ANY of it! But what I do know is that God is STILL good! 

"For God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power and love and self-control." (2 Timothy 1:7)

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:6-9)
