"Are you flying American any time soon?" my pastor asked me on Friday.  "Yes, Tuesday," I replied.  "I am scheduled to fly to Albuquerque to begin training with my boss for my new position with AIM as Ministry Coordinator of American Indian Discipleship."  Then my pastor proceeded to tell me what the latest news was concerning American Airlines, which wasn't good.  In the past, that news would have bothered me.  Satan would have run rampant with it through my brain. 
But God has really been working on refining me lately.  He is teaching me to trust Him 100%.  He has shown Himself to me as faithful in these past months over and over and over again.  I am learning to lay "it all down" at the feet of Jesus.  And I'm not just talking about "laying it all down," I'm really doing it!  When I walked away from that conversation about American Airlines I felt such a sense of peace.  I knew in my heart that if God wanted me in Albuquerque on Tuesday that He would get me there.  Now, in my mind, it had become an adventure.  How are you going to do it, God?  I can't wait to see your power poured out in my life.  Will I have another "BIG GOD STORY" to share with the people that You put in my life? 

In the past eight months since I have begun this adventure of going on staff with Adventures In Missions, I have experienced a "BIG GOD STORY" time after time after time after time.  The "impossible" has become possible, the "unknown" has become known, the "impossibly unsaved" has become possibly saved, the "it won't happen" has happened.  God has used me in ways that I never would have dreamed possible.  He is humbling me, growing me, stretching me, teaching me, refiining me; showing me that "His divine power has given me everything I need for life and godliness through my knowledge of Him, who called me by His own glory and goodness."  II Peter 1:3  I am a different person than I was eight months ago and oh, so thankful!  Praise be to the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!  To God Be The Glory!
