Where do I stand four weeks away from leaving to New
Zealand?
How am I feeling? What are my thoughts?
God has truly amazed me this past week. I have been trying
to sell my car for a few months now, being discouraged, I forced myself to go
to a friends and post my car on a few more websites. Not really thinking anything would
happen, my phone rang and people started to call. A young lady called me two
days after I posted my car, very interested. She came, drove my car and said
she would by it, with even looking at anything. Speechless! I found out she was a Christian and has been
struggling with a death in the family. I was able to relate and encourage her
with the strength of God. Her
mum and her came and transferred the paper over, and it was a smooth ride, selling it
for the price I was looking for. I was amazed; as it went to someone I truly believed
needed it and needed an encouragement that day.
Right when life seemed to be just going day by day, nothing
really happening, God surprised me and send encouragements into my life.
I have lived in the community of Abbotsford, B.C for six
months now, getting to know the community around me, building new friendships.
Being surprised as people have been opening up, and trusting the friendships
between us. I really try to treat everyone like I would like to be treated loving,
trustworthy, respectful and reflecting God. I have been able to give
encouragement, listen and truly show love, as they struggle to work through
lives situations.
As I be been getting to know my community, I have to leave, feeling like things
are just getting established here. This
happened at the last town I lived, finally feeling established but then having
to leave. But I know Gods plan is bigger. I have moved around many times in the
past two years, all because I feel God has told me to go. I am excited to go,
and travel for the next eleven months to see the next journey God has in place
for my life.
Right now I am packing up my house and moving all my stuff
into my parent’s attic. I will be moving back to my parent’s house, excited to spend time with them. Even if it is not much time before I leave,
but it is about being in the house, having the presence of them around.
It is getting to the time to start saying goodbye to all my friends and family.
Feeling there are few things left to do and it is time to get on the road.
Let the journey begin, delighting in the Lord and basking in His love.
