“He will make your paths straight”

Many know that I have been struggling with the decision about where to serve as a missionary. There have been many days that I have stood in my room staring at the map of the world on the wall. So many places, so many lost people, so many who have yet to hear the truth, God’s Word.

I have been seeking the Lord’s face, digging into the His word, spending time in prayer. I have struggled with restlessness and anxiousness but still chose to trust in God’s plan for me. Over the last month I have seen God work in this decision. He opened my eyes and gave me His wisdom. Over the last year I and my friend Rebekah have been coming together once a week to study God’s Word. We have grown to be close friends.

About three weeks ago, God impressed on both of our hearts to talk to the other about partnering together. It was incredible to see how God had worked. We agreed to pray about it. At the time we both were considering different countries. Last week, still not knowing where to go, I realized that I had no peace about choosing a field but I had seen how God clearly led Rebekah and me together.

I shared with Rebekah that I thought that we should indeed partner together and move towards a country together as partners. We decided to spend the next day seeking the Lord through prayer and fasting. At the end of the day, we talked. It was incredible! I wish you were all there to witness God at work. We both decided to partner together and we both had the same country! I am happy and overflowing with joy and excitement!!! Rebekah and I have decided to go to Paraguay, South America!

You should have seen the two of us after we had made the decision. We could not get the smiles off of our faces. We both had seen God work in each of our hearts. This decision that we thought was going to be difficult and have struggled to make was in the end made by the Lord directing our hearts and us saying simply saying “Yes”.

Please keep us in your prayers. This is only the beginning of the journey. There are many questions to be answered and many more decisions to be made. Seeing God’s goodness in this decision has given me hope and encouragement. God is guiding me!

Remember God’s goodness,

Jenna Currey
