Mad. 45

Stacy told me the story of how she and Marc ended up in Betroky. I guess from the start something inside of her told her this was where she'd end up, but it was a struggle for her to accept it on account of the really bad road and other negative factors. But one time when she was thinking about it the song, "Let Go" by Barlow Girl began to play in the background. As she listened to the words it seemed to match perfectly with her own worries and concerns and she felt the chorus was confirmation from God that she needed to let go and trust that Betroky really was where God wanted her to be. Every once in awhile when doubt or fears begin to rise up inside of her again, she plays this song and sings the lyrics to reassure herself. 

It's neat that she shared that with me because lately doubts have been creeping into my mind about this whole foreign mission thing. It's frightening! It's going to be tough, but if God leads John and I over seas, I need to let go and trust Him- even with the unknown. 

"Let Go"

Yeah I trust in You 
I remember times You led me 
This time it's bigger now 
And I'm afraid You'll let me down 

But how can I be certain? 
Will You prove Yourself again? 

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm about to let go 
And live what I believe 
I can't do a thing now 
But trust that You'll catch me 
When I let go 
When I let go 

What is this doubt in me 
Convincing me to fear the unknown 
When all along You've shown 
Your plans are better than my own 

And I know I won't make it 
If I do this all alone
