Our Mission.

A good man produces good out of the good storeroom of his heart. An evil man produces evil out of the evil storeroom, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart. Luke 6:45

God told me a while ago that I was going to Africa. I didn't understand it, I was scared of it, but I couldn't shake what He told me. I still can't. I jumped. Patience just isn't my thing. I thought I was following God's will. I just made MY own plans a little too quickly, instead of trusting and having faith in the One who has my every day planned out. But like I've said many times before, I learned my lesson. My trip got canceled. We were days away from buying the tickets and a riot broke out where I was going to stay. God said wait, and OH did it hurt.

During that time of pain I sought Him. From the overflow of a broken heart, God spoke sweetly to me and simply said, "Look."

God opened my eyes to the fact that I am in love with people I don't even know, miles and miles away, but I'm not in love with the people I work and go to school with every day. He revealed to me that my mission is not just a place, but that it is people. I'm taking each day as a gift, and focusing on what Jesus wants to do in my life and the lives around me.

The picture up there is actually a 5 day devotion written all about being missionaries to our communities. God is so good to us and the least we can do in return is share Him with others. I mean, we are commanded to make disciples of all nations... :) (If you'd like more info, e-mail me at corinspinazzola@gmail.com and I can get you one of these devotionals.)

I'm still believing God and trusting that His ways are higher than my ways, His thoughts higher than my thoughts.. I know I will go to Africa. I just don't know all the little details, and I'm thankful I don't. I want to depend and lean on my Daddy. Please continue to pray for all nations, all missionaries, and all that are being sent. Pray that the Lord would have His will done above all, and that His name would receive all the glory and fame in the process. Thank you!

Your every moment is in His Book.

It's hard to get it through my thick head that not everything is going to go my way. I make all these plans and most of the time expect God to fulfill exactly what I desire. HAHA! Not how it works Corina. I learned it the hard way this time. My plans fell through, and it hurt. I was mad and confused. Why? "God, can't You just do this for me? Just this time?" No is all I heard. I couldn't help but feel like a failure. Who am I to know God's will? I truly thought this was it. I felt incapable, embarrassed, and doubtful. How would I have the courage to take any more "leaps of faith" like this one? "God, I want to hear You." And the whole time He was saying, "No...no...no...no. Baby girl, you've got it all wrong. You aren't truly listening to Me. Look at this, just try to imagine with your limited mind, that I have your life in My hands. I have every single moment written in my Book of Life. You are not capable of knowing and or understanding My will. Just trust Me. I love you, I'll take good care of you."

You may be questioning what's happening in your life. You may have all these loveLy plans, but nothing seems to happen the way you'd like. I understand how bad it hurts. Have faith beloved. God is in control.

Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told. Habakkuk 1:5

Lord, I have heard of Your fame;
I stand in awe of Your deeds, Lord.
Repeat them in our day,
in our time make them known;
in wrath remember mercy. Habakkuk 3:2

Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:16

Remember these. I've clung so tightly to these verses the past few weeks. He is always in control and has a greater plan for us then we will ever be able to perceive. His ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts higher than our thoughts. Cling to God today.

Keep your eyes out the next few days, God has brought something beautiful from this situation. Don't worry, I won't leave you hanging much longer. I'll explain everything that happened. :)
