Excuse the corny title. I'm a child of the 80's & 90's, lol. (And I love that song)
So, It's been a minute. What has happened you say? A LOT!! So, I'm back in Dallas living the vagabond lifestyle early. I've learned some major lessons, I've started back up with the dreaming and hearing, and I'm so pumped to be exactly where I am. It's easy to get caught up in the future. We leave for camp in about 2 months and leave the country about 6 weeks after that. I used to sit and daydream about what it will be like but I felt like the Lord was nudging me to live in the NOW. I've had so many blessed encounters just where I am. Everyday is a new day to affect someone for the Kingdom. I stopped living in the "When" and "One Days" and I now live in the present. What will this day bring? Who am I to affect today? What life would you like me to speak in this moment? It's freeing not to have to worry about tomorrow.
So, I have an awesome job and and awesome roommate, Shout out to Faith!! Does anyone "Shout-Out" anymore? lol. Daddy has been taking good care of me. I still feel a little overwhelmed at times but for the most part I try to keep it together. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot to do and a lot of ppl to reconnect with but He gives me my daily portion of strength, wisdom and discernment and it all works out in the end.
I would be lying if I said I don't dream about the race in some shape or form at least twice a week. That's crazy to me bc I don't usually remember my dreams. I am excited. I've ordered all of my stuff and it sits quietly at my dad's hse waiting for me to open them and explore. I'm in no rush though. God has instilled in me more patience than I have ever had before. I have a peace about everything. Even when a friend asked me if the Lord decided to take this all away and I end up staying here. I was cool with it. I would miss my awesome S Squad and I would be sad but His will not mine. I would preach Christ to the nations anyway, It'll just be from Dallas, TX!!! Hahaha. The Lord told me in 2005 that He would use my mouth as a vehicle for His glory. Whichever way He decides to do that will be awesome and how I would have never imagined it. I'm still excited to go but i realize that the Lord has a plan for me either way. I've lost control and whatever His will is for me…I"m game.
So this is my little spill. Not much but just right. I pray you all are well and I pray that the "peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Phil 4:7
