Just Go With the Flow!

Flexibility... needs to be one of the top traits in a Christian's life. Why do I say this? Because I have learned this in my own walk with Christ. I have always heard that one needs to be extremely flexible when on mission for God, but I never would of thought it so true in my own life. You can see how I needed to be adjustable when coming down to Florence in my last blog, but the need for flexibility didn't stop there! I just found out Monday that we were going to be doing something completely different with the teenagers at the girls home. And our coordinator is always coming to us with something new to do. But I just have to praise God!!! I had to come to the realization that God knew what He was doing and that I just needed to go with the flow. It feels so good to just give it all to my Almighty!!! The song I'm letting go, by Francesca Battistelli ran through my mind when I first found out I was to serve all summer long.

I’m letting go of the life I planned for me and my dreams
Losing control of my destiny
Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe so I’m letting go
This is a giant leap of faith trusting and trying to embrace
The fear of the unknown beyond my comfort zone

I had plans for this summer... and it didn't include serving for 2 months in Florence. but I decided to let God control my future and stop trying to plan my own life. To no one's amazement, it worked out well. My Savior is such a faithful Lord, and yes, I did have to put my whole trust in Him, but it was completely worth it! Now I am in Florence making preparations for this upcoming week. Tomorrow is my first day at the YMCA! Rebekah will be doing the lesson, and I will be doing the music and games. We will be switching back and forth, and tomorrow night we are going to a church to work with their children. The rest of the week will be slam full but I am so excited about it! Please keep praying for Rebekah and I as we start this amazing journey! I encourage everyone to let go of your own plans and start relying on God's plans for your life. Believe me.... It is way better!!!!
