So this season of my life is coming to an end. In a few weeks I will back home with my family and friends.
What happened over the last 11 months?
Let me start off my first telling you what didn’t happen…
I didn’t get to be a mommy for a month.
I didn’t get to my original list of countries.
I didn’t experience God like I thought I would.
I didn’t change how I thought I would have.
The good news is, my expectations were blown out of the water.
Reflecting on where God has taken me over the last year has left me nearly speechless, in awe of how wonderful my creator is.
He has provided over $15,000 using kingdom minded people to allow me to literally go around the world showing His children how much He loves them.
I have seen His creation in ways I couldn’t imagine…
Taking in the view of the jungle of Thailand from the top of an elephant.
The hospitality of my Hispanic momma as I laid in a hospital bed.
The bold integrity of a woman fighting for justice in the heart of Honduras.
His light breaking through in a country that bans His name from being spoken.
I have laid in an ocean, as still as a windless night and taken in just how majestic His creation really is.
I have been invaded by the Holy Spirit and been given new mercies every morning.
I have been taken under the wing of the almighty one and called His beloved.
I have seen Jesus in the faces of the village children as I pass by and say hello.
I have seen Him in the different worship styles all over the world, freedom to praise the one true king.
Where ever I have been this year, God has gone before me, preparing a way, laying the path to those he knew needed to experience God through me.
In just a few short week I’ll be home, and if I’m being honest that scares me. But a wise man once told me,” there is a mission field wherever you go, weather that be down the street or across the world.”
I’m not coming home how I left. I am a new creation, a changed woman. God has set a fire deep inside me to pursue Him and His people with a new boldness. He has given me a vision and a passion for woman and children that I never knew I could have imagined. A passion to empower woman to seek there true identity as a beloved, beautiful daughter of our Heavenly Father. A passion to disciple children from a young age to know their worth in The Lord and to seek the truth on a daily basis.
I don’t know exactly what my future hold, but I know WHO holds my future. In that there is a peace and comfort knowing He has perfectly timed His plan for me.
‘Live by faith, not by sight’
See you soon, America!
