Around the World? More like What in the World?

I don't know why God's choosing to test me with this, but my trip itinerary doesn't seem to be coming along so smoothly. I really need to trust Him that He has it all under control, but every time I think He's given me a new idea to look into, the door closes. I know that being a Christian doesn't guarantee an easier life, but am I alone in thinking that sometime's it would be nice if it did? :) I honestly thought that planning a trip around the world where I offer to volunteer my time wherever needed, wouldn't be a hard thing. Man, it's like pulling teeth to get someone to take me. Ok, maybe that's not entirely true. There are some people who have said they'd love to have me, but maybe it's a sign that the timing's not right and that I'm not supposed to go now. The other day I read an article on Jennie's website by Elizabeth Elliot that says,

"It is to be expected that every decision made with the desire to be obedient to God, will be attacked. Spread your doubts before the Lord. Pray for correction of any wrong in thinking or doing and for His word of assurance as to the action you must take. If there is nothing else required of you at this moment, leave it at that. Trust God. Put the whole weight of your doubts and cares on Him -- that will foil the Accuser."

So very true. I'm going to go home and spread my doubts before the Lord.
