Well, this month I’ve been prompted by God to dig in.  Fearlessly and with boldness. Not being afraid of what God reveals but praising him in the mist of it all because ultimately he is shaping me to look more like him. 

Before launching onto the race I  had an desire  to see God in such a fresh way.  I wanted to see him across the boarders of my western view and attempt to see him in a universal way.

So this brings me to month 3. 

This month I don’t have  the responsibility of leading my team any longer. I am responsible for  loving the heck out of them and pouring into our ministry. Its a pretty amazing job to be honest 🙂 Im choosing to fully embracing each season of this race for now on out. Prospective change has happened and it feels great and so freeing. 

We have been here 10 days and Gods revealed so much to me. I felt I needed to give up social media and dig into my team, God and the kids in the orphanage this month. I decided to do this 4 days ago then boom like clock work I began to get horrible stomach pains the very next day.  Im a fighter and I refused to give into the pains, yet then my appetite began to  leave and a few other lovely symptoms slapped me across the face- so I had to admit that I was feeling sick. It discouraged me because I don’t if rarely get sick and I was not suppose to be sitting in my tent all day sleeping and in pain. This is not how I wanted to start my month. (bad attitudes crept in ect.) ….

I emailed my parents and my mom reminded me –

“This comes after you have made a decision to shut away with the Lord  this month. The accuser is yet defeat. We just serve him with papers that were signed in the blood- ” By His Stripes we are healed”

Your 
Mommy “
 
That is it. Just a few simple direct words from my parents  and some listening prayer  and I was ready to fight this.  
So it brings me to today.  Its been a few days and I haven’t really felt better  and on the race if your sick more then 48hrs we must go get checked out. I went into the clinic had some blood work taken and was diagnosed with Typhoid fever .  Now we know why I have been in pain.  Yet I’ve got meds my teddy bear, pillow from home and some awesome teammates that are taking care of me. 
 
This month hasn’t started at all how I thought it was going to but I’m rocking it out and taking each day as a adventure .  God’s kind of just has me floating on his shoulders and guiding me through it all. It feels great and its super freeing just resting in him.
 
So Typhoid you have been served!
Confusion , you have been served!
Division you have been served!
 Fear, Loneliness, ect… You have been served!
And by the precious stripes of Jesus Christ I am healed!
