I want to share with you a journal entry from a few days ago.
This is exactly how I was feeling as my team was having an amazing 2-hour worship time.
I hope that I can feel this way every morning!
 
JESUS jealous lover of my soul

 
You’re ALWAYS GOOD! There’s been a lot going on lately: feelings still coming up with squad leader transition, joy & overwhelming blessings for my birthday, thinking about home and the fact that the Race ends in 2 months, A LOT! But, God, You have been the constant through all of this. Thank you! I don’t spend enough time alone with You – I need to make more time for dates with You – they’re so good! I NEED YOU!
 

I AM A LOVER OF YOUR PRESENCE!

 

I’m just sitting here thinking about how You work and move in my life…it’s incredible Dad!

My team of women is EXACTLY what my heart needs.
I’m not a squad leader anymore…I can focus on me, me & You, my heart, my oxygen, & YOU!
I just spent my 28th birthday in Thailand!
My friends and family are such a beautiful blessing!

This year you have changed me from the inside out, molded me into a more refined woman, opened my eyes to the greater world & bigger picture, loved me unconditionally through all of the ups & downs, showed me community, taught me about open, honest communication, allowed me to feel more than I have in a long time, revealed to me more about myself than I ever knew existed, and traveled the world with me on this Grand Adventure! WOOHOO!!! 


I AM SO LOVED AND BLESSED!!!

You take care of me, provide for me, love me, bless me, extend grace to me, care for me…
 


I can’t stop praising You! It’s a beautiful place to sit in Your glory, in Your presence…

I live an extraordinary life because God loves me and lives in me!!!

 

 
My life is not defined by the world…
I am overwhelmed by Your love, LordNOT BY
the world
chaotic schedules
imperfection
confusion
misunderstandings
others’ actions
disagreements
large groups
claustrophobia
myself

 


No distance, No space, No separation – ONLY CLOSENESS TO GOD!
 Daily I breathe You in…
Daily I breathe You out…
