I was trying so hard to fall asleep last night… listened to my lullaby, tried to recite Psalm 119, counted numbers, prayed, and even started talking to myself. I eventually fell asleep but I think it took me a while. I could think of two reasons why I couldn't sleep. You know when you're tired and you miss your bedtime? You try to fall asleep afterwards but you just can't? I think I was like that yesterday. Unfortunately, I think I'm going through the same thing today… I was so tired during the day, but now I'm pretty awake. It sucks…:'( The second reason is because I got too excited about something. Let me share this exciting news with you!
It's confirmed that I will be going to Mexico this summer for a short term mission trip! As you know, I've been contemplating over several opportunities for the summer for some time now. I was able to finally make a decision yesterday! While thinking through and asking God why I should go on this trip, I thought about things that have happened to me over the past year. Strangely, it started to slowly make sense that perhaps it is God's plan for me to go to Mexico again. But this time, to go with more responsibilities. I will be going with a group of high-school students and a youth pastor.
I'm really thankful that I am able go back to Mexico this summer and serve with pastor Rolando. I'm thankful to go as a big sister in Christ and take more challenges that God has prepared for me. As much as I am excited, I am also worried to go to the mission field as one of the "leaders." I still lack so much wisdom and strength to be called a leader. However, I surely trust that if it is God who called me to go as a leader, He will provide me and equip me to be a good leader. I was disappointed to have found myself worrying when I've already experienced God's amazing grace last year in Guadalajara. Please keep me in your prayers as I prepare and embark on this exciting journey for God's glory in Mexico!
