Its hard sometimes to explain the world race to you guys at home. It is somewhat of a time capsule where life at home (America) doesn’t really exist and this is the only reality. As if, I have always been a vagabond traveling from one country to the next with only enough time to get settled before picking up and moving again. Its hard to explain the closeness that you feel to people you have only known a month and the pain every time you have to say goodbye. How people that were just strangers 6 months ago, I can’t imagine not seeing everyday let alone every hour. But, this is the nature of the world race.
I am not the same that I was when I left. I can’t really say exactly how, but I wake up every morning knowing that the person that I was yesterday is not who I am today. It is as if I am going through spiritual puberty. My faith is being stretched in ways I didn’t know it could be and I feel joy and love like I have never felt before.
It is almost as if I am the person I was always meant to be but never knew I wasn’t her before. I feel my light growing, not by my own doing but by the spirit. It is so amazing to live out the promises that the bible speaks, of how when I make less of me more of Him can shine and that is when fulfillment will happen. Full, I guess that is how I feel. Spiritually full, but yet still desiring more and more.
My hope is that during this season you will experience a new freedom in our Father. That you will no longer be happy with a so-so relationship with God and start yearning for a passionate, I need nothing else, kinda relationship. One where you know that you can’t but God can, where the laws of the flesh don’t apply because you are a new creation. Where everyday is a new opportunity to become closer to your creator and every moment is a chance to pour more of yourself out for the world so that God can in turn pour more into you.
Take a step of faith, and ask God to stretch you, to show you more and just wait for God to show up in incredible ways!
