I need to give a prologue to this blog and many still to come. The World Race is all about changing the world; starting a revolution that will spread to all corners of the world to bring the message of restorations and salvation to all. All includes the people we will be ministering to, the native people of the countries we are in, but it also includes myself, my team members, and the leadership of Adventures In Missions. So when you read blogs about my own transformation, it is just as much a part of this journey that I find myself on. Thank you for being a witness to the things that God is doing in my life.
After a week of powerful teachings, asking some deep questions and some intense personal reflections, I have come to the realization that I have no clue who I am. Ok, I do know that I am a daughter, a sister, an aunt etc… I mean my identity as a daughter of the Most High King.
We have spent a good deal of time talking about our identity as a child of God. Who is the person that Jesus sees when He looks at me? Who do my teammates see? What about the people we are ministering to – Who do they see? More so, who do I see when I look in the mirror? Do I see my short comings, failures, and insecurities? Or can I begin to see what God sees: A beautiful, powerful women with a heart to change the world.
We have been awaiting our first “assignment”, the location and type of ministry we will do in this first month. Excitement and anticipation have surrounded this news. But this morning, I received “MY” first assignment directly from God. I need to focus in on my true identity – learn how to be comfortable in my own skin, and view myself as a child of God. This journey and pursuit is just as important as the ministry we will be doing in the various countries, I need to be opening up my heart to understand my true identity and being secure in the role as a “Daughter of Zion”.
