The Great Unknown - You've never failed and You won't start now

The new Hillsong United song, Oceans (Where Feet May Fail), has been such a wonderful blessing to me lately! I only have 16 days until I leave for Seattle!! crazy! With much anticipation, I have been acquiring the last of my donations and starting to pack!

Surely, I have a one-page description of what I will be doing in Seattle, but I have no idea what GOD IS GOING TO DO! My prayer, not only for myself, but for the rest of my team, is these lyrics:

"Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders, let me walk upon the waters, wherever You would call me. Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, and my faith will be made stronger, in the presence of my Savior!"
This trip will be the longest time I have been out of the Midwest, my first flight without my family, my first time being to Washington, my first time leaving everyone that I know, and the first time talking to others about God with people I haven't even met yet (in person)! However fear-inducing these things may seem, I will not fear because I know that although I will be physically alone on the plane, God is always with His people. I will not fear because I know that His will is going to be done! My fears are so much smaller than the power of God! I am in His hands and this trip is more about bringing all the glory back to Him, not myself!

I cannot wait to share with you all what God is doing in Seattle this summer!

Lord, bless those who have been a blessing to me! Give them more than they have given me! Bless them in a way that they will know it could have only come from You! Prepare our ministry team with open hearts, obedient minds, and bless us with safe travels to Seattle. Prepare those hearts you have ready in Seattle to hear the Gospel and have a restored relationship with You. I want to pray for my friends on their mission trips, as well! Protect them and teach them more about depending on You and You alone! Let Your will be done in Seattle and in the hearts of many throughout the world! I pray these things in Your Son's holy and righteous name, Amen!
