For the past month I’ve been letting things go…
in the course of a year you miss a thing or two 😉
All the normal things : Birthdays, Holidays, Graduations, Weddings, Anniversaries and all of the everyday life moments with friends and family.
its one thing to know you’ll be gone for a year and another thing to realize like for real that you won’t be able to call up your friend when you want or even be able to text them. I won’t be able to drive ten minutes down the road to see my friend.
I won’t be in the living room when my siblings come home and get to hear about their days…ill miss out on details and a lot of big moments.
You give up being around the people you’ve walked life with up until this point – and that is strange to realize.
However, they are my champions & my intercessors … I couldnt be happier about that or more grateful!
“I’m going to miss out on so much”
not in like an “oh darn it- I didn’t get to see the next season of that show I love while I was gone” kinda way
in like a “I’m giving up the laughter and tears with close friends on their wedding day, the stories and love at thanksgiving with the family, the 18th birthday of my siblings. I’m giving up seeing my siblings graduate, getting together with friends from college, the day to day life with friends like going out to lunch or binge watching netflix together.” etc.
Thats what I’ve been processing this month.
Then as I drove home from my ATL fam send off, after they prophesied, imparted and anointed me with oil – I was driving home and Papa dropped a bomb…
“You’re going to miss out on so much, to show up with Me – to show up for what I have for you”
He’s got such an adventure for me in this next year! I’ve known that but this drove it home 🙂 If He is willing to pull me away from EVERYTHING its to give me MORE THAN EVERYTHING! Its because the weight of whats next is too important to miss out on. Im ready to show up with Papa. Its like going on a year long honeymoon with the King of Kings who is my Lover.
Before the foundations of the earth were laid- Thats when He decided this …thats when He said “a year…I want her for this year, cause I’ve got plans for us and this isn’t the final ” IT ” but its the next ” IT” so that whats next can come” ….cause He has so much more 😀
Thats where Im at as my squad and I head to launch in just two days (September 6th) … Only a few more days in the states and then we kick off month 1!!!
Thanks for covering us in prayer as we pack up life and leave behind our personal agendas, friends, and family … for “see ya laters”, flights, health, energy, outpourings of Holy Spirit and a “YES” in our Spirit!
