Nicaragua. While I wait for God to reveal His plan for my involvement in Kenya, Eric and I bought tickets to Matagalpa, Nicaragua for July. This is the perfect opportunity for me to do an international mission trip for the first time. This trip is one week including travel, as opposed to 14-16 days required for Kenya. I am really excited about going, but I also feel the weight of this decision. This is the first time I have handed my health issues over to the Lord fully trusting that He will see me through this experience in a foreign land.
My health has been the ONE thing that has held me back since birth. Whether it be asthma, allergies, bone density, chronic hives, and now digestive issues, my health has always dictated where I go and what my involvement with life is. I can't live that way. God does not say, "Follow me if you are 100% healthy." He simply says "Follow me." I have to believe the one I follow will never forsake me. The God who knows the number of hairs in my head also knows the sickness inside and the limitations this body can take. The God who healed me on July 9, 1989, will see it through. Healing doesn't stop on the pages of the Bible. He is still Jehovah Rapha and has not quit doing a good work in me. I am taking all the illness and all the anxiety that goes with it to His feet and laying it down. I will be stepping out of that plane in faith.
