Here We Go Again
"Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” When they got into the boat, the wind stopped."
Matthew 14:28-32
Can you remember the first time you got on a plane? the sensation of being in the air? Knowing that you are safe, but the adrenaline and nerves of knowing that you are flying! I remember the first time I got on a plane, it was so exciting but at the same time I was very scared. I suppose that this sensation was similar to what Peter felt when Jesus called him to walk on the water, I think he felt so much emotion from walking on the water as well as fear of drowning when trying to do it.
These months I have experienced so many emotions that I have no words to describe them all. Today, after months, I feel that once again, I can walk on the water, outside of what I know, what is comfortable, what I love and most importantly, I felt im holding His hand so hard because Im trying to feel safe. It has not been an easy time, but I am sure in walking on the unknown, on what is scary, because I trust Him.
Maybe at some point, I will look down and I start to draw, but I know that He is going to hold me, He will hold my hand tightly and He will show me his power once more.
Today, I think I finished getting my feet out of the boat, just this morning my passport arrived after receiving the visa sticker, and now, with passport in hand, I have bought the tickets to leave the United States. Although I am very afraid of taking this step without having planned it many months in advance and having no control over any of the process, I can say that I am confident that He holds my hand and that everything will be fine.
Thank you for supporting me, thank you for praying for me and for encouraging me in this time of uncertainty, thank you for staying by my side and walking with me throughout this process. Now that a new adventure begins and after having spent time sharing with incredible people, and valuing all those who send people to the nations even more, I can say that I feel privileged to go, but I feel even more privileged that you are who send me, who walk with me, who hold me up with every prayer!
THANK YOU! Thank you for trusting me, thank you for trusting my call, thank you for so much. Thanks to you I can say again: HERE WE GO AGAIN! With much to discover, much to learn and many to reach and with all my faith put on Him to provide all that is needed for this time.
