I really should have thought about this when I put up my last post, not even ten minutes ago.
I was talking with Matt last night, when I was reminded of something. I was reminded of the very first Bible verse I ever memorized which is:
Isaiah 6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then said, "Here am I. Send me!"
It's incredible how God sets up things in our heads. I would have never thought when I was in the 6th Grade Girls Vacation Bible School Class (with one other student and Darlene Pickens as my teacher) that this would essentially become a life verse for me.
After I went to Mexico in high school on a missions trip I began to feel the tug toward missions for a career. I never told anyone though because I thought no one would ever believe me. I discussed it with God for quite a while, and then passed it off as just a phase. Truth is, it wasn't a phase; God was preparing me for something. At that time, I had totally neglected the calling because I thought that God would never want me for something like that. Boy was I wrong.
I guess I was just hit with the revelation that God really does set up things very intricately for us. The irony and the blessing in the situation can only be explained by God's grace and love.

God is faithful to keep His promises. How wonderful to know that His plans for us are good and that they will bring glory to Him and to us if we follow after Him with all our hearts.
Your notes were very moving and I thank God for the spiritual growth I see in you.
Rebecca,
Isaiah goes on to say
"Here I am Lord. It is I Lord. I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go Lord if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heart. "
This was one one Bubs' favorite passages from scripture. Perhaps you won't remember, but she chose it in song for her funeral.
Thr Lord does work in wondrous ways.
