Hey everyone just wanted to say
that the first month in Malawi, Africa was good but stretching. I really
enjoyed just playing guitar and worshiping with my team and the people that we
were doing ministry with. But for the most part I can say that this last month
again was really stretching. It was hard not being able to be in contact with
my family and friends. But it reminded me that that’s why my team is around me.
So we are going
into month 6 and being half way through this race many of my squad mates have
been doing some reflecting on what we have thought about the race thus far. For
me it all changed in Ireland at the Awakening conference. God really did some impossible things. He
really restored and refreshed my relationship with my best friend who I say is
like a brother to me. And with that came a refreshing in him and his family/my
family as well. He also provided in ways I didn’t think possible. With just 2
days left before we had to have money to go to Romania in came $3000.00 from my
family in Waco, Texas. WHAT! I was blow away and didn’t want to accept it but
it showed me that God is using everyone supporting at home just as much if not
more that me out here on the race. And so going into Romania I was like
whatever it’s been great but I really didn’t think $1,500.00 would come in 2
weeks, but God provided. Again didn’t expect that, but my team were so confident
that God wanted me to stay. So now I’m in Africa yeah! We have been so blessed
in just having a place to stay last month and our contacts were so loving and
caring. God has continued to teach me about the importance of community.
I grew so close to
the guys on my team and it’s been awesome. I didn’t really think I would be
able to have good conversations but God just really provided time and humbled
our hearts to encourage one another. John
15:13 say’s, “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for
his friends.”
I like that
in verse 11it say’s ” I have told you
this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.”He was
saying that our joy would be complete if we obey what he said about obeying his
commands and remaining in his love. But I also think that our joy is also
complete when we realize that people need love and we all need to work at doing
this. This comes by communicating with each other. I have been learning that
it’s really important to let people know what going on. To let people know what
you are frustrated with and to always be looking for ways to complement each
other. I know it’s hard for me to accept complements, but I really believe God
is helping me to accept more.
So it’s
been awhile since I blogged, but I am so thankful that I have time now. I hope
that you haven’t been bored thus far in reading, but I really just wanted to
let everyone know what God has been doing I me thus far on the race.
One thing that I
feel I might want to do when I get back to the states is to finish school and possibly
get into teaching music to kids. Let me know what you think about this I would
love to hear from all you teachers. The reason is because I was never much into
education when I was in school but who knows only the Lord. But I know that I
have a passion for music and love playing and teaching kids. Just this past
month I had awesome time teaching theatre to a 7th grade class with
my teammate Emily. I had so much fun teaching, which is not what I expected. So
I could definitely see myself pursuing this when I get back. I know also God
has put amazing people who are smart and can help me with this ha ha. Cause I
for sure will need all the help I can get.
So there is
where I am at somewhat. I need the rest of my funds in by January 4th.
$3, 453.00 is what I need. Thank you all who have read this blog. I know the
Lord will bless you for investing in me.
