God has a plan for everyone who puts their hope in Him, and I guarantee His plan is better than yours.

There are many of us Christians who still have no idea what God has planned, but I can promise you, He's always at work even when you can't see it. I'm fortunate to know where God wants me and I may not know what all He has planned but I do know where to go. This mission trip to Cuba is one of the many steps where God has called me. There has been many more steps just to get here and I can see God's hands all over it. So that must be a good sign.

God has placed inside each one of us a gift that brings Glory to Him when expressed, and if you've ever lived out yours then you know just how much joy it fills you with. Not everyone is called to be an eye and not everyone is called to be an ear. We are all different pieces that form the body of the church. The Spirit dwells in every gift, and giving any amount of money to a member of the church going out brings the Lord much joy, just as the one called to travel. Prayer is just as important, for God hears all who call upon Him.
