adventure of a lifetime. Flashes of faces and places from the year run through
my mind everyday, as if no time has elapsed at all. I have wanted to write a
blog since the day my feet touched American soil to sum up my year, to thank
every person for their support and prayers that radically changed my life, yet
I let the busyness of the States pull me away from filling my blog page with
thanksgivings.
Yet with seven months of normalcy (if you count visiting
4 states in three months, planning a wedding, getting married, and
moving…normal) under my belt, I have much more to share.
First
things first! Thank you supporters for investing into my life.
The eleven month journey
across the globe that your prayers and finances enabled me to embark on, was
the most life-changing, God-encompassing, radically humbling experience!
Everything I thought I knew about
life and God, crumbled under the MAJESTY, POWER, and GLORY of who God truly is.
“O Jehovah, Yours is
the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty .
For all in the heavens and in the earth is Yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Jehovah, and You lift up Yourself to all as Head. (1Ch 29:11 )”.
Wow!
I give all the praise to God the Father. I have fallen in love with the King
who is Jesus! So I thank you supporters. I hope your experiences during those
eleven months also drew you to the Father’s feet. I know and am thankful that the
Lord blesses those (all of you) who are obedient (1Ki
8:23).
Now for a little fun update!
During my eleven months overseas, God blessed me
with a wonderful opportunity to get to know a Godly man named Kyle Crimi.
Despite my constant anger and arguing with the Lord that it was not the time
for me to meet the man of my dreams,
God knew much better than me. God truly does answer our deepest cries because
for many years, I had prayed that if the Lord were going to bless me with a
husband, that He needed to “hit me on top of the head” and make it completely
clear that that man was the man for me. Well no doubt God answered! Before I
even left America
on TheWorld Race last September 2007, before I had even had more than a five
minute conversation with Kyle, God spoke to me in an almost audible voice
“You are going to marry that man someday!”
me before a year of ministry, but I am thankful. God enabled us to get to know
each other on a deep level, most of the time through reading each other’s blogs
or talking once a month about God’s incredible work in our lives. I am in love
with the most amazing man and God brought us together in a HOLY COVENANT of
marriage on November 16, 2008.
wife, which is an amazing blessing, and learning to live out my faith in all
places. It is taking me a while to adjust back to the plenty of America, and I
have struggled with it, but HE is leading Kyle and I and I have NO doubts that
we will have a wild ride in this life!
Thank you to all and I
pray blessings over you!
