I received notification about the plane ticket because there was a special taking place that I could only have if I purchased immediately. I was hesitant, but something in me said to go forward. I had the money for it (barely), so not paying for it was just a matter of me worrying about "what if" i'd need those funds for something else later. But to let "what ifs" sway me, would be to embrace doubt. And to embrace doubt, is to block out faith. And if I don't have faith ...then what good am I to the children I will be attempting to help?
That ticket was bigger than a purchase. It was an act of bravery. It was a belief. A belief that I can go to South Africa and make a difference in the lives of orphaned children. A belief that even though i'm struggling financially, God will provide the money, the resources, and the support for me to do it. It was a belief that anything is possible. I can do this. I WILL do this ...I just have to keep believing.
