It’s teaching me that the race was good. In all of its messiness. In all of its homesickness. In all of its ministry. In all of its works of the Lord.
But if PSL is really teaching me anything its this: home is good.
It is so good.
Yea, there’s a lack of ministry every single day and it’s hard acclimating back into certain things. I have had some short term memory loss like needing a gps to get to places I’ve been to a million times or a lesson on how to steam broccoli.
But, overall, home is a good place to be because home is where the Lord has me right now.
What else am I learning? Well, this one could be a shocker but…
The World Race isn’t the greatest and coolest thing that I will ever do.
It was absolutely incredible and I don’t want anyone to think I am downplaying the greatness of this last year. But I am putting it into a perspective where it deserves to be. It deserves a lot of weight because it was an experience that has carried a lot of weight in my life. The Lord changed things in me and He changed things in this world.
But there’s still more.
There’s more He wants to do through my life. He’s created me with specific purpose, dreams, desires, passions and visions that no one else has. He’s created me with words that carry a lot of weight and that don’t carry a lot of weight. He’s created me with leadership and creativity and influence and peace and joy. He’s created me with a heart for the orphan that feels like it’s going to explode when I think of the fact that He wants me to come alongside Him and fight for them. He’s created me with unique perspectives and unique gifts.
Project Searchlight has been a week of sitting under some really great leaders and learning all that they have to say and all that the Lord has taught them. It’s been a week of sitting and talking with my squad mates and hearing all that the Lord is doing in their lives. It’s been worshipping the Lord with a feeling of such goodness and hope that’s ahead for my life. Knowing that I am so loved by this God that He sent His son for these moments. Knowing that He notices me. He loves me. He wants me to walk alongside Him in some huge ways. Knowing He’s created me for something only I can do.
The World Race was an incredible season. I look at all the greatness and goodness of the Lord in it and it makes me trust Him and believe Him for what’s ahead. Even if I don’t know what’s ahead at the moment.
