For a long as I can remember, I have worked with children in chruch. I have worked as a Sunday school teacher, VBS director, Children's Church Director and with the Wednesday night children's programs. Working with children is my "Comfort Zone."
A couple of years ago, God called me out of my comfort zone and into a world of discomfort, my new ministry is in missions; not as a missionary to a foreign land, but to be on Mission with God right where I am. God had opened an opportunity for me to go on mission to Lima, Peru and now to go on mission to a land where I have always wanted to go every since I can remember. I will be going to Kenya, Africa in January!
Every since I got the word that I would be going to Kenya, Satan has attacked me in so many ways, it has been hard at times to keep my eyes focused on God and the plan laid before me. I know however, that in this trying time, that God is still present. I can see glimpses of Him through a song, bible verse, sermon or in conversation with a friend. I will be victorious over Satan's schemes, why? Because I have Jesus on my side. I ran across this verse the other day that gave me a lot of comfort:
Zeph 3:17
"The Lord your God is in your midst,
A victorious warrior.
He will exult over you with joy,
He will be quiet in His love,
He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
NASU
During the trying times of our lives, during our sadness, heartaches, illness, loss and even in our victories....God is always there. He is with us. He rejoices with us when we are happy and he quietly wraps His arms around us when we are sad. It is comforting to know that no matter where I am in life or what I am doing....God is right with me and will never leave my side....
