Before AFRICA…..is today :

I pray today I think more of JESUS CHRIST, than myself.
I pray today I do more for JESUS CHRIST, than myself.
I pray today…
that I would not “call – myself – a Christian….
but that I would truly LIVE IT….

Live it ~ in my own home,  “before AFRICA”
Live it ~  w/ my DAD,  ” before AFRICA”
Live it ~  in the bank in Lima, w/ the people @ Walmart in Lima…..

I pray that I read God’s Word to live….not to knowledgebly ( sp )  ” KNOW”  but to LIVE
I pray that I pray for others today……”before I get to AFRICA”  for God to prepare HIS soil.

Pre Trip……
Our lives are all ” PRE TRIP “……because our  “destiny”  is today with JESUS CHRIST
Our destiny is like our eternity……it starts NOW.
My Destiny is not AFRICA…..my DESTINY is living before JESUS CHRIST in a way
THAT PLEASES HIM TODAY ~  ” before AFRICA ”

How many books do you read about –  how to fulfill your destiny
–  how to live out the call of you life
–  how to make it out of what ever…..

I don’t want to live FOR AFRICA……I want to LIVE FOR JESUS CHRIST…..
I don’t want to make my destiny more than WHO HE IS…..

We so wait for Heaven…for all of this and all of that….
Last I checked – we have it NOW…..we have JESUS CHRIST NOW
….we have GOD NOW
…. we have The Holy Spirit NOW

Before AFRICA…..seek HIM daily…..HE is the same here as much as in Africa…
so I strive here……for Who –  for HIM ALONE –  BEFORE AFRICA
The people need saved here now…..” before Africa”….

So our destiny …..our striving…..our journey to get where…..
To me,   is :   to seek God now
to please God now
to live in HIS FULLNESS, that HE died to give us,  now.

One week from today I will ” be in AFRICA “……
I pray my joy is complete today in HIM ALONE…..” before AFRICA”
I pray my heart is compelled today , in HIM ALONE…. ” before AFRICA”

HE sees my heart….clear through….and I am self checking….
like you would a car ” before a trip”   oil – check…..tires …check….etc ”

If I am less fulfilled in HIM alone,  ” before AFRICA ”
is it truly all about HIM….” self check, Janelle ~  self check ”

Let me see only HIM and let HIM see the others…..whom ever that would be:
Today –
Tomorrow –
Next week ?      Why….?     Because if my goal is only to see HIM…
it doesn’t matter where I am, who I am with, where I am going…..

I am pleased in HIM……and I pray, I pray my goal is to please HIM ALONE…..
and HE is here ” before AFRICA “.
