As I was sitting here attempting to study for finals, I found myself zoning out and letting my mind wander. It found its happy little way to daydreaming about the Race when it occurred to me that I’m leaving in 33 days! It seriously feels like it was just yesterday that I got a phone call saying I was accepted to the ministry. Where has the time gone?! There’s still so much to do and so many people to visit with before leaving. Not to mention I still need to graduate and buy the rest of my gear and also have Christmas. 33 days…
These last few weeks are going to fly by and before you know it I’ll be at the airport for Launch with my teammates saying ‘wow, where did the last few weeks go?’. I don’t want to waste it away with being ‘busy’.
This time now is critical. Although life will be busy, I have to be intentional now more than ever about preparing my heart, spirit, and attitude for the season ahead.
Without a doubt, I know that God is up to something. There’s been a shift in the atmosphere and a fresh revival is coming over this generation and I want in on it!
From talking with a lot of my squad mates, the enemy is trying his hardest to hinder our hearts for this journey ahead. But I know how big my Papa God is and absolutely nothing can separate us from His love if we commit to pursue after Him.
Please be praying for my team in these last 33 days.
Pray for Holy Fire in our spirits and for radical Joy.
Pray that we die to ourselves (and our ‘busyness’) and completely surrender to His plans and the courage to do so.
much love,
– B
