Two days later, my phone rang. It was 11pm and the call was from the States. I answered and heard two people talking on the other line but they couldn't hear me and soon the line was cut. Then it hit me. I got so nervous and said to my friend Dior, "It's AIM! Oh no! I haven't done fasting yet!"  5 minutes later, my phone rang  again. My interview was done a week earlier than the scheduled date and throughout the interview all I could think of was God telling me that  I am ready. I preached at our Youth Service that Sunday and a lot of the questions asked in my interview were the same questions that I challenged our youth with in my message. I knew that God has been preparing me for this.

I knew that I was ready. I've been praying about this for over a year now. My friends  and my family know that I've been wanting to go. I applied for the World Race last year but I didn't get in because I don't have an American/Canadian Passport. Funny, last June, I laughed when I caught myself confidently saying "I am definitely going on the World Race soon". I didn't know God had the Novas Project in mind.

So that night, God gave me His nod.

And just as Abraham went up the mountain to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac, I have chosen to respond to His nod in obedience. I am going on the Novas Project Mission Trip on January 2010! I have heard God's voice and like a sheep, I am being led by My Shepherd to take this journey with Him.
