Trust in the Dark

I can't believe that in a week our team will be together in Texas. It seems like just last week I was agreeing to go on this trip and now it is here. This semester has gone by so quickly and it has been such an incredible journey. I am so thankful for all the things I have learned, and now for the opportunity to use some of it.

I've been reading through Isaiah lately, and came upon this verse yesterday. "Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant? Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God." Isaiah 50:10. I am a person who likes a vision and a plan, and am generally uncomfortable with a lack of details. One of the things that has already stretched me with this trip is going in what feels like darkness to me, because no matter how hard I try, I can't picture it and literally don't know many details anyway. But God is so faithful and knows my heart, and this verse was exactly what I needed to hear. While it seems contrary to me, the more I am in the dark, the safer it is because I have only Him to trust, and who better to trust than the most powerful, trustworthy, and wise one there is? So despite being afraid of the dark (literally), my heart is comforted and so excited for the next part of the journey and the people I get to share it with. Thank you everyone for all your prayer and support that have brought us this far. Keep em coming!
