I find it hard to believe that in just 39 DAYS, I will be reunited with H SQUAD and ready to depart to the Dominican Republic to start something that I cannot begin to put into words…
Where do I begin to express what has been happening in just the “preface” of this journey? When I stop and think about it, I really don’t believe I can fully comprehend what I am getting myself into. I stop and think about how far I feel from being ready to go. Then I realize, God has CALLED and I am answering, even when I do not understand or know the end result. I know that when all is said and done, it will be worth it. SO WORTH IT!
Being completely honest, I have been lacking motivation the last few weeks. I have been so busy and pre-occupied with “life,” trying to work and make money so that I CAN go on the World Race. I have been trying to make the most of what time I do have left at home…yet, a piece of me has been missing – and that’s GOD! Being busy is what seems to come naturally to me, yet it is the reason I have been home the last few months – so that I can rest and spend time with God.
Father forgive me for putting you off and letting people and things get in my way of spending time with you.
Lord, I need you. I want you. I desire you. Rescue me, Lord. You are my first, my last and my everything.
Lord, I need you. I want you. I desire you. Rescue me, Lord. You are my first, my last and my everything.
From when I rise until when I close my eyes at night – and even when I sleep – I CHOOSE to follow you!
I want to be used by you. My life is yours, Lord!
I am constantly reminded that without HIM, I am NOTHING! He is the one that gave me life and continues to give me life. I am thankful for the people that are in my life – you know who you are – the ones reading the blog, that are faithful praying for me, supporting me, loving me and just accepting the fact that my life will be changed this next year! This journey has hardly begun, yet you have all already impacted my life in so many ways.
Things to Pray for:
*Pray that I will continue to draw closer to God through the business of the Season that is approaching!
*Pray that finances will continue to come into place so that this journey will become a reality (I still need about $7,000 CDN), but I am not worried. God is the great Provider!
*Pray for my team “the Gentle Warriors” as we continue to get to know each other and seek God as a team and individually – as well as the rest of my Squad
*Pray that I will be able to get the needed sleep and motivation to do what needs to be done before I leave. In other words, pray that I will be able to say NO to things/wants and YES to God!
Jeremiah 1:5,7-8 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations…Do not say ‘I am only a child.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you, declares the Lord.”God knows ME. God knows YOU. We are set apart. Are we ready to Go!? Are we ready to be rescued? Are we willing to listen!?
