Gods Little Signs

Before I can to Uganda I started planning my return, and I continue to plan my return. Figuring out where I'm going to live for the summer, do I have a job when I get home, will I have money to put gas in my car before I start working? All these things linger in my head, and it's hard because I worry and stress about something I cannot fix or change at the moment, or for that matter even be thinking about! Thinking about this more the past couple days I've been asking God to really show me what I should be doing, how I should start preparing and also forgetting for the time being. 

I open up my bible this morning to Luke 12: 22-26

Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very thing, why do you worry about the rest?"

I found this verse so reassuring because Brenna means raven or little raven. I laugh at how God shows up in my life, I ask for big bright lighted signs! And He Always gives them to me!!

Another sign God gives me lots is the number 23. I know it sounds weird and many people are like..."are you serious Brenna?" But He does!! The number started out as a song from a band i loved with a girlfriend of mine in middle school. But after loving the song the number started showing up everywhere! During good times of my life, and also bad times. I started to wonder if it was God guiding me, showing me signs that I had desperately prayed for. After a while I figured it had to be, I'd wake up one morning ask God for a sign and there 23 would pop up. Or even that first day I went into Kampala and was so concerned I wouldn't get back to the compound safely, I prayed for God to show up and take over, than I see 23 on a guys shirt in a bus I was taking. I think it's God's way of saying "Brenna I'm in control, let Me take over". Okay God! You do that, I'll just go for the ride :) Sounds good....

Well He for sure has taken me on a ride, it's been good and bad, but I've learned from everything. God is Good!

What's your sign? Do you have a sign? Have you asked God for a sign? I encourage you to ask Him for it!

Love Brenna
