Preparing For Israel

God has definitely been preparing my heart for this trip starting before I even knew I was going. God knew this day would come, and He would prepare me for it. I have been overwhelmed today with God's grace. He has shown me how wicked my heart is, yet how He wants to use me. He created me to glorify Him, and although I have made mistakes in my life, that didn't glorify Him through my thoughts, words, or actions, He continues to be patient with me. What blows my mind, is that God wants to use me as his vessel. I feel so unworthy to be used by God, because I see my sin, and I don't understand why He would call me. But I know that God doesn't see my sin anymore, ONLY BECAUSE OF JESUS. That is what makes me worthy. I know that I have been saved by grace through faith, and that not of myself; it is a gift from God, not of works, lest I should boast. This trip I am taking has nothing to do with me earning it, its entirely grace! God is so good! Please pray on behalf of the Israel Team while we are gone! Back in the states December 2nd!
