The YWAM DTS Journey: Comfort is Blinding

I had an awesome job and a wonderful church.  When God told me to come back I was all over it, of course.  I was in an extremely emotional moment.  I had just finished building a home for a beautiful family in a little village in Mexico!  I was vulnerable.  When I got back to the states and a little bit of life hit me in the face I started to back out.  I mean, how am I supposed to raise that much money?  I want to actually be able to see my friends every once in a while.  I still want to be able to do all the things I use to do; but there was always this small voice saying, “You know where I called you.” so I started saying things like, “Oh, I'll go volunteer for a month.” or I'd say that I would make sure I went next time there was a missions trip; But that tug on my heart never left me because the Holy Spirit never left me.  

 God Speaks 

After I was sure that my mind had been made up that I wasn’t going to do a DTS I was sitting in church listening to the sermon and my pastor quoted Galatians 6:9 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”  and then God asked me if I was going to give up and as you can tell, I said no.  It wasn’t easy to work random jobs that I really didn’t want to be doing, but God’s plan was bigger than that.  I didn’t want to leave my family, but God was bigger than them.  I didn’t want to leave my friends, but God was bigger than them. Gods call is bigger, which is why I came to Mazatlán. Now I am I growing in relationship with others through my love for Christ. I realize that is the path to pure joy. 

So please, when God ask you to do something be obedient and follow Him.
