Several months ago a missionary in Bosnia came to visit our school in Sweden. He presented a mission opportunity to us students, showed us pictures, talked about his experiences, and shared his testimony. I was very intrigued, but at first I did not feel at all inclined to go. I was telling my friends that I didn't feel "called". But as time went on there was something growing inside of me that was nudging and bothering me.
At first I didn't know what it was, but then is donned on me. Part of the reason I didn't want to go was because of money. It had never occurred to me before that I didn’t trust Yahweh with my money, but it was true. Even though He has never failed to provide for my every need, I struggle in trusting Him with my money. It was at that point, for two reasons, that I decided to go to Bosnia:
1) Yahweh has called us to reach out to orphans, widows, and those less fortunate than we are. I have the desire to serve others and to share what Yahweh has done in my life.
2) I want to trust my Lord, not just in theory, but in practice. I trust that He will provide me with everything that He sees fit to give me.
