I can not believe how far God has taken me in the last three weeks. Someone asked me last week what God had been doing in my life and so I thought I would share with everyone.
When I first got to Matamoros. I did not want to talk to anyone about God. I had to walk out of Worship because I couldn´t stand it. I didn´t want to pray or really do much of anything. I wasn´t doubting being on the race, but was doubting what I was going to do on the race.
I am not sure what changed. It could be the public confession of sins that I had been carrying around for way to long. It could be God just through a personality changing bomb at me and revolutionzed my thought. One thing I want to encourage anyone thinking about coming on the world race or doing missions. IF that is truly your hearts desire, and by hearts desire I do not mean traveling, but rather a desire to Love God and Love People. Then don´t be hesitant that you don´t feel like it. Just go and trust that the Lord will give you the heart to do the ministry that he has called you to.
I have gone from not wanting to preach to loving and and enjoying getting the chance to share God´s word with people. I have gone from having to walk out of worship service, to leading it and to spending all day in pray and singing. I love to Worship God now. I can´t explain it.
The other night we were at church and I saw this guy sticking his head in through the window and so I went over and said the little I knew. I told him hi and asked his name. There was something wrong with him and I am not sure what it is, but my heart just broke with compassion for him. I walked outside from there and looked up at the glorious mountain sky, full of stars. And I just broke down just getting a taste of the compassion that God has for his people. The love that He has that He wants to share with everyone. I am so excited to see all that God has in store. If you are wondering if God changes people through the world race. I will already stand and say yes because I am a life that has been changed.
