Faith, Counting On God

I have been here in the Philippines now for half a month and it is nothing like I was expecting. I was invited out here at the start of September and being a dreamer, once I knew what I was going to be doing, I started to imagine what things would look like. I honestly thought it would be an easy transition into a role within the ministry. I was wrong. But, you know what? I am okay with being wrong. I am okay with it not being easy. I am okay with me expectations being shattered. It is all okay and I do not have a problem with it. 

Already I am playing worship music for several of our ministries throughout the week. Also we have started a new Bible study and a youth ministry in which I oversee. Playing the guitar is fun and I have learned a bit of new things and songs in the last couple of weeks. The other areas, well those are hard. I can not do this things by myself. I can not do this with my own power. This is where I need faith, this is where I need God to help me each and every day. 

It is only by God that I am able to do what I am doing each and everyday. He is the ultimate leader, He is the guide for my path, He is the one full of wisdom and knows what needs to be said. If I try to do things alone, on my own power, I will fall flat on my face. I will fail so miserably. But with God going before me and directing the path, it will work out. It will come together for His glory.

Each day is a faith growing experience. Each day I have to depend on God. I do not know what to do all the time. I am okay with admitting that. But, I know with my God on my side I will make it through all things. I know that He is here molding me into the person that I need to be in order to advance His kingdom on Earth. 

God has great plans for the Philippines. I am blessed to me right in the middle of it. I know that the lives of many will be changed in order to bring glory to God. I also know that my life will be changed as well as God continues to change me and make me a better person. Thank you God for bringing me to the Philippines and MultiGiver Missions.
