As I get ready to transition, the thought of leaving people I love at home again gets pretty overwhelming sometimes. I’ve even had people ask me “why do you think it is so overwhelming?” The truth is, I don’t have some profound answer for that. All that I can say is I LOVE these people.
At the same time there are people in and around Georgia that I love so much and I cannot wait to be around them. It had me asking God, “Why do I love people so deeply?” “Why does love have to be in the equation, it just complicates things?”
This verse immediately came to mind …….
1 John 4:19
When that verse came to my head it came with a picture of my best friend, Anessa. To 
make a long story short. In a time when she was hurt beyond words and needing healing in her own life. She chose to love me in a way that I had never experienced. I was on a road to destruction and I didn’t care to change. I am still to this day blown away that I listened to her when she spoke truth to me, and I am convinced it was supernatural. She walked alongside me and chose to love me even when I was hard to love. She loved me because He first loved her and I would not be in the place I am at right now if it wasn’t for LOVE.
We were created to “love“, and we should consider it a priviledge that we can feel love, because it shows us that He first loved us.
If it wasn’t for my friends obedience I wouldn’t be on the journey I am on now. But instead, 3 years later I stepped onto the mission field. It would be selfish for me not to want to spread this love that I now know. I am excited to go wherever He calls!!
Matt 10:8
Thank you Anessa for your willingness to never let me settle and showing me what it looks like to truly love Jesus and love people. You showed me that there was more and I am so thankful for you and your little family : ) I love you so much!
