God is so funny…
He just loves change…
Ironically, He's the same…
yesterday, today, & tomorrow
I actually enjoy change too…
Most of the time…
There have been a lot of changes happening in my life over the last four months…
– I packed up for 11 months and left the comfortable, safe life that I knew and loved
– So far I’ve traveled to four different countries and two continents (many more to come)
– God has been relentless in chasing after my heart (which is new to me)
– A lot of the “junk” in my life has been uprooted:
I’m no longer needy for people and their attention, affection, & affirmation
I’m no longer dependent on others and I know that I am worthy of being exactly who I am
I am bold, courageous, secure
I speak out when the Spirit leads and listen more when God speaks to me
I am learning daily to lean on God for everything…I can’t do life without Him
– I have been raised up to a Squad Leader…a spiritual leader of my squad of 38…I was just a team member and now I’m leading the squad…what?!?
GOD IS SOOO FUNNY!!!
– I am no longer on a team of 7, but a team of 3 (squad leaders)
– My traveling around to each country will be more frequent as I visit teams
– The focus of this journey now is the people on my squad and not so much the ministries
– I am now a Zealous Heart Chaser who will listen to the Lord for the right answers, questions, & words for other people in order to lift them up into the greatness that God has planned for them
– My walk with God is also changing into something greater, something that I can’t explain, but I know it’s going to be awesome!
Overall the changes are positive…the changes are unexpected…God surprises me in many ways and continues to do so everyday…I should probably not be so surprised anymore…
I love surprises and I do like change…there have been times throughout this journey, though, when I didn’t enjoy the change…those were times that brought me closer to God…I had nowhere else to turn but to Him…I had to fix my eyes on my Savior and allow him to take control…
I like control…I don’t let go of control too easily…but I did it…I let go…I literally had to open my hands at times and let go of the control, hurt, anger, impatience, confusion, frustration, defiance, etc. that I was holding on to…LET IT GO…
I NEEDED THE CHANGE…I had to have change in my life in order for God to work out the junk…I didn’t know I still had junk, but, OH YES, it’s there…
Without all of these changes, I would not be able to progress in life, to move forward…I would be living a good enough life, but God knows (and is calling us) into a BETTER, GREATER LIFE…it can’t be just “good enough” anymore…why settle for that…”good enough” is boring!
I am embracing the change and embracing what God is doing in my life…it’s wonderful…I’m taking new leaps of faith, jumping off the cliff, flying into the unknown…AND knowing without a doubt that God will catch me, grab my hand, and guide me on the journey!!!
