FRIENDS!!!
Buenos dias desde Espana!
Mijas from our rooftop
Well, it is rounding out the end of my first month here in Spain training at G42 Leadership Academy. Who knew that the Costa del Sol of Spain would be so cold! I am sitting on my couch with a flaming heater 2 feet away from me and a huge mug of hot water to keep me warm, but I am sure you have your methods where you are at as well. I packed for tropical weather and found out that I was quite mistaken. But hey, that’s part of the adventure!
The first week of being here I kept telling God,
“I can’t believe that You want me here!” I always had this idea that if I completely surrendered to God, He would send me to an arid region in the middle of Africa. Yet instead I find myself on the Costa del Sol in a village known as Mijas with beautiful mountains to my back and the gorgeous blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea below. Everywhere I turn looks like an exquisite postcard! I want that to encourage you next time God asks you to surrender to Him.
Remember and believe that He has mountains and oceans of love He wants to take you to! And its one heck of a ride!
Climbed to the mountain peaks overlooking Mijas and the Mediteranean.
MOUNTAIN PEAKS AND OCEANS OF LOVE!
So, I know I kind of fell off the face of the Earth for this past month. Honestly, I have felt on overload with all the new challenges and information to process as well as adjusting to a new culture and environment. It kind of put me at a loss of words. By the end of this next month it will officially be the longest place I have stayed without moving in over a year! I am ready to be still for a bit, but I think finding stillness has been hard to come about for me. My mind is being blown that the dreams God has placed on my heart CAN really happen. Our teachers challenge us to reach out and grab what God is handing out to us. I think we wait around hoping to find out what God’s will is for our lives when He is looking at us and saying “You ARE my will”. Just Go! There are millions of places in this world WAITING for someone to just go to and tell them of Jesus. Just step out and He will guide and bless our obedience.
Anyways, so much more to come! But I want you to know I am alive and well. I haven’t forgotten you and hope you still remember me every now and then. We are beginning to research and map our vision plans for the organizations, businesses, church plants, etc that God is calling us to. After the first three months, we will be working that into an actual business plan and go through the steps and connections to fabricate it. Please pray for big dreams and clear vision for my life as I step out in this obedience.
Love ya’ll tons!!!!
