The Struggle to Say Yes

The first time I went to India the Summer of 2006, I went to the bible book store to find a study to do that would prepare me for my journey with God to India.  I ended up selecting the book What Happens When Women Walk In Faith.  Okay, I know, from my previous book choices you know that I tend to pick a book by its cover, and yes this one was no different.  But I do have to say that after doing this study I did feel that I could go on this adventure into India knowing that God would be right there with me and he did not disappoint.  So as I was looking for a new book to study before heading back into India, I choose another book by Lysa TerKurst, What Happens When Women Say Yes to God.  I thought that this is really what I wanted to do, say yes to God.  But right now, today, saying yes seems to be very daunting.  Although, the study is very good and the scriptures are very encouraging, I need to remember when I say yes to God, I need to be ready to go after the opportunities He places before me.  What will saying yes mean and am I really ready for this?  What if I continue to say yes?  How will that change what my life looks like?  After saying all of that, I WILL SAY YES, no matter what lies ahead, yikes!
