The Story I’ll Tell

Because of medical reasons my squad mentor and the leaders of AIM decided it was best for me to go home, so I am now home in the States. It was really difficult for me to accept that I was being sent home, I had spent hours praying and praying for God to heal me and He chose not to. And when I heard that I was being sent home, I had felt like God had failed me. I absolutely loved being there. I was learning so much and I had an amazing group of women surrounding me that I didn’t want to leave. But then the song, The Story I’ll Tell by Maverick City, kept coming up and it wouldn’t stop playing in my head and the chorus says this

 

Oh oh oh my God did not fail

Oh oh oh it’s the story I’ll tell

Oh oh oh I know it is well

Oh oh oh it’s the story I’ll tell

 

God didn’t failed me!! He has a plan and there is a reason that I had to come home. I may not see His hand at work right now and I may never see the reason why I had to come home, but I do know that I serve a good God who cares for His people and would never fail them. It doesn’t mean that it is easy being ripped off the field, but I know I can look to the future and be filled with hope.

 

Already, He is teaching me that if I choose it, these next 6 weeks that I would have been in Ecuador can be some of the best times of growth I ever had in my life, all I have to do is choose to grow. I can easily sit here and be bitter about the fact that God didn’t heal me and that I’m home or I can look forward and rejoice that I was able to go at all and now I have 6 weeks with no commitments where I can endlessly explore who God is and pour over all that I have learned on the trip and dig deeper then I would have if I was still on the field.
