india & nepal (it’s not about me)

so i sat down and wrote this blog yesterday. and it was a struggle. 

well, this morning, i hung out with jesus, and then i scrapped the whole thing. 

ya see, i was making it way too much about me and much to little about him.

i was super overwhelmed by the task of support raising again.

and was all overly concerned with having the perfect words to explain my current life and calling and how to ask for money.

spoiler alert: IT’S NOT ABOUT ME. 

sometimes i forget that. still. sometimes i forget that God is GOD and KING and HE’S GOT THIS. He does what He says and He’s really really good at His job. He’s been doing it a long time.

the fact is, He’s called me to india and nepal this semester.

if you’ve been out of the loop or just don’t know me, i went on a 9 month mission trip with adventures about 3 years ago and it radically changed my life. since then, i have had this crazy privilege and honor to lead semester long college aged mission trips with them. it’s all grace. 

and this spring, after about a solid year of praying about why india and nepal both had specifically been on my heart, i’m handed a team of twelve 18-22 year olds to walk with into the nations of india and nepal for the next three months. to get to love them, lead them, and serve alongside them. with only one purpose: JESUS.

so that’s what’s up. i need $2,000 to be able to do this. 

but where The Lord calls, He provides, right?

for The One who sits upon the throne and owns everything in heaven and on earth, i think we’ll be ok.

for those of you who know about my heart for south africa, nothing has changed.

real talk, that has been my greatest struggle in sharing about going to india.

my heart is still there, and The Lord still continues to confirm.

but these is also a peace in the “yes, but wait.”

He is doing a new thing in this season. 

so i will choose to joyfully surrender, again, all the more, and say yes. 

because it’s not about me.

if you’d consider partnering prayerfully with me, that would be awesome. 

financially is obviously needed too, and you can click right on this “support me” link or on the one to the left. 

thanks for your prayers and support and generosity, fam 🙂

i’ll be keeping you updated!

love, ab
