Luke 9

--One day Jesus called together his 12 apostles and gave them power and authority to cast out demons and to heal all diseases. Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the coming of the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. "Don't even take along a walking stick," he instructed them, "nor a traveler's bag, nor food, nor money. Not even an extra coat.".......So they began their circuit of the villages, preaching the Good News and healing the sick.

Basically I made this blog because right now I can't find my journal. So I figure I need a place to process my thoughts, and maybe you can process with me. Or follow me on my adventures to YWAM. Or just creep for the sole purpose of creepin. Whatever. I have nothing profound to say but we all know I don't mind sharing my thoughts :)
Right now what I'm thinking is that I need a reality check. Jesus gave his apostles the power and authority to do what he was doing, and promises that if we choose to follow him, we will be able to do these things and more. He tells them to go out and DO these things, taking no luxuries with them. Not even an extra coat. Living in Minnesota, is that even sensible? Christ doesn't call us to be sensible though. He just says "go out and do". The crazy part is that they listened. It doesn't say they spent months freaking out, stressing out, and backing out like I want to do.
Not saying I won't be packing my car full of things I think I'll "need" in the next 6 months of my life. But hopefully I will spend more than just tonight pondering these verses and knowing that I don't need to be what I might consider 'prepared' because I really never will be fully ready for what's coming. I am definitely gonna be needing some serious prayer though because I know that alone I won't be able to become this kind of person that just picks up and goes to heal the sick. I'd rather sleep all day on my pillow top in my room in the city where I won't be stretched beyond what I think I can handle.
The good thing is, I've done that for a while now and I know that I'm not meant to be in a comfortable place. I don't even sincerely like it. I'm just terrified of new things. So again... As I'm freaking out and doing last minute things to get ready for this upcoming adventure of mine... pray for me? It would be much appreciated :)
