A week before we got to Bulgaria we got news that it was MANistry month, so the men would be split from the gals and they would have a month of ministry with just the MEN of our squad. Leaving all the coed chicks to be together on a team for the month. With the slight hope that we would be back together for the rest of the race, we didn’t have a proper “Goodbye” with our teams.
PLOT TWIST. We are having team changes after this month. AND we have the opportunity to choose who we want to build community with in our last months of the race. It was a little tough realizing that I didn’t really have the mindset of “this is our last month together” with my last team. But hey, looking back on the past three months the Lord has taught me a lot.
He has taught me how to live a life looking only to please HIM and not the impossible standards of others. Stepping in to a deeper intimacy with Him, letting him show me the way he sees me. I have found myself just sitting in awe of his beauty. I’ve been reminded how deep his love is for me. I’ve been reminded that He is always there to help get through the ugly in life. He has been sovereign and so faithful to me, always reminding me of his presence in everything. He is my constant.
He has taught me to let go of past hurt, even the stuff I dug so deep I forgot it was there. He has shown me walls I’ve built up and how he will get me past it. He has taught me that I need to have tough conversations, no matter how uncomfortable it is.
He is where I find rest, hope, love, life, healing, confidence, strength and beauty.
This month is going to be a month of sweet surrender and peace with God. #TeamNoBros
