Unexpected Blessings

A while back, I decided to fill out an application to go on a mission trip in December 2021. At first, I wasn’t sure if should turn in the application. “The program won’t accept me.” “I don’t know christ well enough to serve.” “I am just starting to find my faith, how can I help someone else?” After going back and forth on whether I should submit the application, I sent it in, thinking I would get turned down. On the application, it stated that you will receive an email to set up an interview time slot to see if you were a good fit for a mission trip team. Well, I never received an email and never had to interview. I assumed I just wasn’t a good fit and was turned down. Then, on September 30, 2021, I received an email from someone on the team for my school’s Global Outreach program, stating that I had been selected to be on a Winter Mission Team. But I didn’t know where I would be going or what I would be doing. A week later, on October 7, 2021, I found out that I would be going to Gallup, New Mexico for 10 days. I never could’ve imagined being given an opportunity to go on a mission trip. I believe the Lord saw an opportunity and chose to work in and through me. I believe the Lord selected me for this trip knowing it would not only glorify his name, but hopefully bring me closer to him.
