I have arrived.
I am at my new home in Georgia and I honestly could not be more excited.
The moment I stepped off the plane in Atlanta, I knew this was right. Actually it was before that. I was on my flight from Orlando to Atlanta and I saw it in the sky. The way the sun was shining through the clouds was breathtaking. We were parallel to the tops of these clouds and I could see the sun shining through them to the ground. The rays were separated by the shadows fromt he clouds, but the sky was just beaming with the radiance of the Lord. It was as if He was saying “Take my hand, let’s do this together…”
I got to hug so many people who I love and I got to meet so many more new people who I will love very soon.
In this space, in this place I feel more comfortable to be who I feel like I am than when I am anywhere else. There is just something about being surrounded with like-minded people who have similar goals, passions, and experiences that just makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
I am currently living in a house with a few other girls, two of whom were on my World Race squad!! I love living in community again. I have a bunkbed and I don’t even mind!!
I wish I could share with you a little more about what I am doing here, but at this point it is still kind of gray area. As my time goes on here things will get clearer, but right now they are not super clear. I have changed the track that I am focusing on from field leadership to the worship track. At this point, I have an idea of what that will look like, but nothing solid so I am going to hold off on telling you some of the things I think the Lord is calling me into as far as my role in worship.
This week we are taking some time away from the fast paced life we live full of technology and motion and we are going camping. Out in the backwoods of Georgia. We are going out to spend some alone time with the Lord and just asking Him to speak to us about what this next season will hold for us. I am both excited and nervous about this. Since I will be gone without my phone or my computer or music or anything, I ask that you would be praying for me, that God would really show up and meet me in my tent and in the backwoods of Georgia once again. He met me here almost two years ago at my training camp and I am excited to experience Him here again.
Also, as I am gone I ask that you continue to pray about supporting me financially for this adventure. I know that just because I am not out of the country, it may seem like this adventure is not worth supporting. Or that since I am living in America I should be getting some “real life” job and not needing to fundraise. I promise, this is exactly where the Lord wants me to be at this point in my life and I cannot apologize for what he has called me to. But I do need your support, in prayer and in finances. I still need $200 to be covered for next month, and $3200 to be fully funded for the year. I ask that you stick with me on this journey and if you can’t, pray about sharing my story with your friends or church family.
I really do love you all and I am so thankful for you being on this journey with me.
Feel free to email me [[email protected]]
or leave me messages and things for when I get back from camping.
I am expectant for the Lord to show up in so many ways while I am gone.
So much love and blessings to you all,
-A
