Not "IF" but "WHEN".

While having a discussion with my mom about the opportunities that God has laid before me recently, I began a sentence with, "If I go to Africa....."
My mother immediately corrected me saying, "not IF, but WHEN. You are going, maybe not on this trip, but you are going."


Something many of us subconsciencly fall into......doubt.

We doubt God’s power, we doubt His promises, we doubt His faithfulness. 

We are quick to forget, when God is for us the facts don't stand a chance and what seems rational will be tested. 2nd Corinthians 5:7 says, "We are to walk by faith, not by sight." When we doubt, we are challenging God Himself. 

I believe too often, we just dip our toes in the water, to be safe. It's like we are saying "ok God, I'm here, use me, but hey, you only get a little bit of me, just in case you don't get here exactly how and when I want you to". 
Instead of taking a leap of faith into the great unknown, we hold back our complete selves so we are not disappointed. 

Luke 16:10 says, “He who is faithful in very little is faithful also in much”.

When we are faithful in the small things, God blesses us in the even bigger things. When He knows He can trust us in, what seems to us to be the most minuscule, insignificant things, He can fully trust us to carry the blessings and challenges that lie ahead. 


God put Africa on my heart years ago, burdening my heart for the hurting, making a promise, that He will use me to generate change, to give hope to the lost and heal the broken.


He always comes through. He always makes a way.


He opened the door for me with an amazing non-profit called Exile International, who exist to instill hope, healing and God's love to Africa's war-affected children and former children soldiers. Upon our first meeting they asked me to go to Africa to volunteer and film their work......My dreams have come true. 


At times, life feels meaningless, we feel our life has no direction or purpose, our struggles and suffering seem pointless, we feel unused by God...but I can tell you, He uses every aspect of ourselves to create something wonderful. 

I invite you today to give God your whole self, your hope and dreams, your past and future, your worship, your words, your bad days, your good days, your struggles, your passion, your love, your heart.
I am living proof at what God can do when we walk by faith and not by sight.


Give Him, you....thats all He asks :)
