This is my life! This is what God called me to! This is what I’m made for! This is what I have dreamed of! 

 

God is SOOOOOOO good!!!!! 

 

I’m in a pursuit to hunt God down to the ends of the earth. Regardless of the outcome of this journey I am in the game. I am walking after God. I am looking to find Him in all of these circumstances. He is teaching me, molding me, guiding me by the hand, by my heart, through my thoughts and struggles and teaching me to be His, and that it IS enough! 

 

God doesn’t call the equipped, he equips the called.
