Last night as I was reading in Hebrews 11, God really started speaking to me through the following verses and it was really encouraging as I really began thinking and questioning myself yesterday...

"By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going." (Hebrews 11:8)

I just really feel God telling me to obey him, and go where He has told me to go even though it is unfamiliar to me. So many times God uses unfamiliar and uncomfortable situations to bring us to a place of brokenness where we have to completely rely on Him. I truly think He uses these times of total surrender to teach us that He is all we need, and it is through these times that we grow and mature the most.

"If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had the opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one." (Hebrews 11:15-16)

This verse reminds me to look forward toward the vision God has given me and called me to as it is a part of His perfect plan. If I look back, I will want to stay in the comfort of the US; but as I continue to look forward at His will for my life I realize I am contributing to the Kingdom, which is really my purpose here on earth.

I am so thankful that God continues to speak to me and sustain me even through my doubts. He always remains faithful!!
