As I am getting prepped for my trip to Malawi, there are many things that need to be done!
1) I need a passport.
2) I need $3,500 by mid-may
3) I need to be praying hard for this trip.
4) I need shots.
And there are many more things i need in order to go.
The other day, I was talking to one of my best friends, and Satan picked that opportunity to get under my skin. As I was sharing my heart about how ecstatic I was to go on this trip, but how stressed I was about the money, my friend looked at me and said, "Alyssa, can I ask a question?" of course i told her yes... and she proceeded to say "Well, why don't you save your money for more important things, like college? I just don't understand why you need to go so bad."
I literally looked at her with the most intent look and said "you don't get it at all. God has placed this passion in my heart, and he told me to go, so i am going. I have no idea how the funds are gonna come in, but I believe that my God is big enough to provide that for me..."
She gave me a dumbfounded look, and i walked off, in order to keep from saying anything else.
My God does provide. He sent me about $400 this past week.
Satan, you tried, and you failed. Good luck next time.
