In February 2014 I went to India on a mission trip. This blog talks about the storms that I went through to get there and the mountains that were moved so that I could go. Ending with my experience there. Feel free to leave comments as you join me on a journey of a lifetime. Have a blessed day, week and year. Remember through Faith and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ all things are possible.

Faith that can move mountains. Mountains move as you have faith and prayer lots of faith and prayer. However that doesn't mean more mountains won't arise. Unexpected expenses arose so now I won't be getting my passport or my right birth certificate this week. It did frustrate me at first and as I was doing my own thing yesterday it just kept coming to me of doing God's will and seeking first the kingdom of heaven. How am I to know God's will if at first I don't seek him. I do still believe it is God's will for me to go to India and tell others about his love however I need to dig deeper into his word and know so much more than I know now before I go.

The other night I had the oddest dream. We were preparing to go to India at the airport and ready to go. However some of us still didn't have passports. I was one of them. Pastor Charmaine was with us and we were waiting at the curb then Pastor Paul was there getting his stuff because he was going with us. (Now at this time neither Pastor Charmaine or Pastor Paul are going to India) however in my dream they were both going. Those of us without a passport were to go with Paul to Florida and then go on to India while the rest went straight to India. Next thing I know I am staying in a home somewhere in India and there is this precious little girl who has never been loved who I am showing God's love too. For me this dream is just confirming that I will be going and showing people the love of God. I have the love in my I just need to let it out.

But first I must seek the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 6: 25-34 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how they flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you-you of little faith? So do not worry, saying 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all of these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Why should I worry about how and why. It is all in God's hands. His will be done in my life. As I follow Christ the things that I need will be taking care of. Especially the needs that need to be met to follow God's will for my life. If it is the Lord's will that I go to India and spread his word then the funds will be there and the passport will come and the shots will be gotten. How can I do this when mountains keep coming, the funds that I had for going are spent. Seek first God and all these things will come. Why worry when God will provide for me as long as I seek him first. How many of us when we get up watch the news or go online and check what is going on with Facebook or just in the world? Yes, I am guilty of this. Is this putting God first in our lives? What kind of difference would it make if the fist thing we did in the morning was to read God's word, or pray or turn on worship music and just take the time to praise and worship God. It would make a huge difference because we would be seeking God first in our lives. He is the one who gets us through each day, even when we fail him he still stands up for us and gives us grace. When all we deserve is to be condemned and cast aside God sent his Son to die for us so that we can be saved and lifted up and given another chance. Did the news or Facebook ever die for us, would they?  No, never. The world would be quick to condemn us for our sins. So, why then do we first go to the world instead of God? Will the world cloth us and feed us? or will God? Now I know God is my provider, my redeemer, my everything. Now I need to put it into practice, I need to seek first the Kingdom of of God and his righteousness and as I do that he will provide for me. Who will you seek first?
