What up my beautiful people!
How you lookin today? Good as always I'm sure.
This blogs purpose is about living life to the full.
When I was at training camp I received what I like to call "a taste" of truly living for the Lord God. Basically training camp was a taste and now I'm ready to go on the World Race and receive the meal!
When I was in Georgia the options for meals that did not contain gluten were limited. I was sick of it. Done. Tired of my body being such a burden. I always prayed for me to endure it but never thought to pray for it to be healed.
When I believed in the Holy spirit, God worked some powerful magic. My brother prayed for me to be healed and I finally turned my heart over to God and decided His crazy power is real and alive today. If you have not heard from my mouth you must know I HAVE BEEN HEALED! I am no longer suffering from Celiac. I can eat bread with ZERO pain. Straight up miracle aka Acts 2 come to life >check it out.
How often do we do that in life? Zero hope. Zero belief in miracles. Zero belief in the Holy Spirit. Healing does not exist. Sickness is cured only with medicine. Lonlieness is cured with addictions or another relationship. Old scars are masked by drugs, alcohol, shopping, sex, eating disorders and porn. Our hurts and pains are dealt with but in ways that simply add a band Aid, leaving the wound unhealed. I know what that's like and I never want to live that way again.
It hit me: I cannot live life to the full unless I believe in a better life. Belief that the life offered to us through materialism and sex is a bunch of bullshit (sorry, felt this was appropriate) and there is something better out there. Unless we are proactive, this better life it is simply a dream or a myth.
I'm currently living at home and know my body is not fulfilling its purpose. Most of my days are free and besides doing work for the World Race I go to bed not feeling like my body was used to its fullest potential. I am anxious and wanting to leave for the World Race but know my time here is a blessing to be with family and friends. I look forward to the World Race and the days of going to bed exhausted from doing the Lord's work (what a glorious but sweaty day that will be).
A recent trip to Lincoln, visiting all the lovely ladies I have lived with at one point or another during my final college years.
Even before leaving for the Race, God continues to teach me this life was meant to be enjoyed, but to truly live life to the full I must sacrifice and make it about others. I must work and wisely spend the money God provides on taking care of others. When I feel discouraged, stressed or like my life is pointless or boring, I realize I need a challenge aka I gotta switch it up. Who leads your life? God or yourself? In that lies the key to happiness my friends
May we all experience what its like to be exhausted for the Lord God doing his work. May we not settle for a snack but go for a filling meal that won't leave us hungry again! Amen.
Your loving sister,
Ellie
