God's Way or Bust

So, what's up with the title? I just got the most profound news ever! It's not going to make sense without a little bit of background, so I'll give that to you first.
My last post was about the New year and the new thesis statement for my blog here. I said a great deal about remembering how sweet life was, and how sweet it was to be in God's will. I prayed on the last day of last year that God would make me trust him, that he would steal my heart back and make it his own. I prayed that he'd take me out of my comfort zone and change the way I thought, to put me in a hard situation so I had to lean on him so I could remember how. It's a dreadful prayer to pray. The way that shepherds would teach sheep to stay near them was by breaking their legs and carrying the sheep wherever they went. By the time the leg healed, the sheep would be so accustomed to the shepherd and so dependent on him that the sheep couldn't bear to be separated from the shepherd. As the sheep, I think I'd be okay with a broke leg- I finally came to the point where I realized that I needed him more than my mobility. So, surrendering life and limb to the one who had my best interests in mind, I prayed that God would put me in a hard place so I had no choice but to trust him.
Guess what? He answered. He answered in the sweetest way! I knew he would, I staked a lot on it.
I have known for a while that I'm called to some form of Missions work, but I've also been running from that call. Sunday I surrendered again, and Monday I prayed that God would show me what he wanted me to do and give me a way to do it. Yesterday night I got a text while I was coming home from work, a text that read 'Hey Tristany, J and I were wondering if you were at all interesting in going to East Asia with us in March? It's a ten day missions trip around easter- it's going to be about $1900 dollars.' Me? Go to East Asia? On mission? It's at once God putting me back where he wants me, and me going someplace I've always dreamed of going. I was uncertain at first, but it was too perfect for God to not have orchestrated it- So I said I was interested and tonight I went to the information meeting after church. I only just got home- and there is NO WAY I'm going to be able to do this on my own. For instance: the price is $1900- which is four hundred more than I've ever raised for missions- and I have to have it all in by February 1st. I have thirty days (more or less) to raise $1900 dollars. I've never heard of that happening that fast. I'm not sure how to even start raising funds- but I do know- I KNOW- that God is telling me that I'm supposed to go to East Asia, that this trip is My trip, and I've been called to go. So I am totally going, and God is totally going to provide. Trust God? I have to- there's no way this going to happen unless he does it. I don't even have time to send out support letters- those generally take a month to be effective [or they have in my case].
I don't know HOW God is going to do this, but I know he is going to do it. I'm prepared to wait until the very last day, I'm prepared to pray until the last moment. God ALWAYS comes through, and ALWAYS in his perfect time. So, I'm going to annoy all my facebook friends and tell them "I am going to East Asia! God just has to raise the funds!" And God will come through. He has to- I have no second plan. Either God will provide for this, or I will not go. If God really did say that I needed to go, and I believe He did, then he will provide. I have no idea how he's going to do it, but I know he will- and he will be glorified through it!
