Here I am Lord, Send Me

This month is flying by. I have spent time preparing myself for Day School to start and I am excited-nervous. You know, it really reminds me of how I'd feel going back to school as a student, which is hilarious to think back to.

One thing on my heart lately is where our focus will be on our outreach. They're doing things very differently this year and have chosen to focus on a certain people group all year. This means my domestic outreach will also focus on the same group that my overseas outreach will. They also gave us a choice of timing for the outreach and with 3 options, I chose my domestic week in the fall and my overseas outreach in the spring, but the spring outreach will be possibly up to 4 weeks long. I have never been overseas and would have never chosen this as my spot myself. I really see the hand and direction of God leading me. I feel like I can relate to Isaiah in a whole new level. God told him of this broken people, hurting so badly their hearts were stone. And God asks, "Whom shall I send?" I'm like a little kid, "ME!!!!!ME!!!!PICK ME!!!"

Here I am, Lord.
Is it I, Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if You lead me.
I will hold Your people in my heart.
Amen.

This hymn I loved as a child. Now I treasure it as God calling me and preparing my heart for this year decades ago!
