As most of you know, I am a planner. This is what I do, how I get things done, and a part of my personality.
But I am also a dreamer, a thinker, and a doer.
But more than that, I have come to realize that I am a believer. Not just in the traditional sense of being a Christ-follower.
No, more than that. I am a believer in Who God is, Who He is in me, and Who He is in you. So, what is the point of this? The point of this is to tell you I am letting go.
I am letting go of my preconceived notions and ideas that I could not be a planner, dreamer, thinker, doer, and believer at the same time. I thought I could not do it all. You know what–I was right. I cannot do it all. And that is the beauty of this new 'season' in my life: I have finally come to the realization that I cannot do it all and that my reliance on God is not limited to when I have lived in the middle of nowhere, Kenya or bar-hopped in Phuket encouraging girls out of the sex trade industry.
I can and will and am relying on God more today than yesterday and yesterday more than the day before. As I seek after Him, as I push ahead with starting a non-profit (Eye2Eye: to provide eyeglasses for students in Kenya), and intentionally encourage and love the people around me, the word 'obedience' keeps cropping up. I strive to live in obedience in each of my days, no matter what task is at hand–large or small. I am writing about this life, this beautiful aspect of my life, at thebeautyofobedience.wordpress.com.
While this post has been more of a tangent within a tangent within a tangent than anything else, I appreciate you taking the time out to read it. I think and pray about you, as friends and supporters, and I honestly and truly thank God for you. My life is not my own–it is God's and it is for the kingdom, and your encouragement and support helps me in this progression.
Thank you for being faithful and obedient to our God,
Hannah
