God Reveals, God Answers Prayers

As the summer has been progressing, my patience is becoming less and less. I have gone through many questions in my head about Cameroon. What is it going to be like? Is it safe? Can God really use me in a powerful way? Why did he call me there? Am i going to like it? When will i want to come home again? Questions like this keep haunting me everywhere i go, but they also give me a chance to look for the answers in the Bible. I know that nothing in the Bible says "Elissa, you are going to be used by God in powerful ways when you go to Cameroon", but when i was reading in Isaiah, i found a passage that is very similar and spoke to my heart. It was like God was telling me those exact words. "Arise! Shine! For your light arrives! The splendor of the Lord shines on you! For, look, darkness covers the earth and deep darkness covers the nations [Cameroon], but the Lord shines on you [Elissa]; his splendor appears over you. Nations come to your light, kings to your bright light. Look all around you! They all gather and come to you-- your sons come from far away and your daughters are escorted by guardians. Then you will look and SMILE, you will be excited and your heart will swell with pride..." Isaiah 60:1-5. The amazing thing about these verses is that they are just a chapter before the chapter i read when i was in Haiti about rebuilding ruins. My experience in Haiti is definitely preparing me for Cameroon. God is working! Now, i know i'm not anything close to Zion (which is what the chapter is talking about), but God really spoke through those verses. I can't wait until i can allow humbleness to take ahold of me, and God to work miracles where i am going.
