As far back as I can remember, birthdays have always been a big deal. Not only would I tell people my age in quarterly ratios but would also count down the week before my big day. It was always exciting to ask my parents for a new Barbie accessory or a new bike because that is what I thought birthdays were all about, getting tangible gifts. This year I turned 22 on the first Friday of Mission Academy in Georgia. The whole day I was greeted with warm smiles and birthday wishes, even some multi-key birthday songs in different languages. As I sat in holy hour face to face with Jesus, I kept thinking to myself, “God’s timing is so perfect that he called me to this very place, to be a missionary spending a year learning about His heart. This alone was the greatest gift!”
Exodus 14:4 “The Lord himself will fight for you; you have only to keep still.”
