This post is a copy of a journal entry I wrote during debrief at the end of October. It is a reflection of what God is teaching me and how I am choosing to live my life from here on out. I shared this with my squad at debrief. Now I want to share it with you.

I have a confession to make. I’m hiding. I’m lying. I’m running. I’m running from what God called me to do. 

I’m on the World Race because God called me to go. But He didn’t just call me to go. He called me to go and… Go and do. But do what? Go and make disciples. Go and be his daughter and carry him to all the places people haven’t met him yet. 
 
Jesus goes inside me, so why do I hide it. Why do I hide him? Why do I hide who he made me to be? God gave me eyes. Eyes that see what others can’t. God made me bold… Maybe too bold. God gave me faith beyond what I knew to be possible – questionless faith. Chantai says I have the gift of evangelism. God sent me to make disciples.  But then why do I hide. Why do I lie postrate in front of fear… Or whatever it is that is stopping me. I’m not afraid but I won’t speak up. 
 
I see things in you that you don’t. I see things around me that others can’t. Why do I hide these things from the world? Sharing them would bring more light- more Jesus. Why do I hide the Jesus in me? 
 
It isn’t me but Christ in me. Dying upside down on a cross or in my bed. Who cares as long as the name of Jesus is on my lips. Right? 
 
I sing, “your words will ever be on my lips.” But they aren’t. God is calling me out. I’m not hidden or unseen because I’m invisible. It’s because I haven’t stepped out in faith. It’s because I’m hiding who he is. I’m hiding myself and therefore hiding him in me. 
 
It can’t be Christ in me or Christ through me. I can’t do the impossible if I don’t actually do anything. God didn’t call me to go. He called me to Go and make disciples. He called me to disciple you and be discipled by you. He called me to preach his name and to shout who he is from the mountain tops. He told me to risk it all. He told me to go AND. 
 
I want to do the AND part. I want to go AND make disciples.
