I will go where You lead me

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer
Matthew 21:22

As my time comes to an end in El Salvador, I started praying and asking God where he wanted me to go. I had applied to college but I wasn’t supposed to find out until middle of march. I didn’t know whether to go to college in September, or come back to El Salvador for another 6 months…
Last night, my heart felt very heavy. I am so sad to leave this place. I prayed and asked God to give me a clear answer whether he wanted me to go to school or come back to El Salvador next fall.
When I woke up this morning, God told me what He wanted me to do. I got my acceptance for school online. Clearly He wants me back home…
It is hard for me to think about that. I have made so many friends here and people I now consider family. I want to come back to El Salvador so bad, but if God wants me at home, He knows best. He will take care of everything. He will bring another person down next year to fill my spot.
There is a reason He is leading me to Mohawk. I feel like God is calling me there right now because I can be a light in dark places.
I feel almost as if El Salvador was a stepping stone in my faith. It was one of the first big steps in my relationship with God. I feel comfortable sharing my faith. I feel more comfortable talking to people about God. I don’t feel as scared anymore..

Matthew 21:22 is pretty much the theme of my trip. I have learned to believe. I believe that God can do anything. He will provide every need for me.

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?
Matthew 6:26

God provides for the birds. He will provide for me.
