In my current understanding, the Lord is calling me to maturity. He is calling me to answer His

call with “I will” and not “I guess.”

As I reflect on the trip, one lesson stands out above the rest: God often uses those who are simply willing and available. Age, experience, and expertise matter far less than obedience.

Obedience is the act of yielding to the instructions, commands, or authority of another. For many people, the word carries a negative connotation. It can feel restrictive, burdensome, or controlling.
