The following is a blog I thought about posting. Yes or No? You can guess who it’s about. Also, I might not even post it. it was sort of a journal entry. But let me know what you think. I loveyou!
Sometimes you have someone in your life that you cry out to God for more than anyone else. Sometimes there is someone who you worry about. Someone you want to see happy. Someone you want to see doing well. Someone who has struggled, does struggled, and has felt like they have lost their struggle so many times.
For me, that person is this amazing girl I know. She has the most beautiful heart. She is hilarious. She loves adventure. She likes hunting and getting ‘done up pretty’. She loves good music. She is a thinker. She is a writer. She is a nurturer. She cares deeply for people. She is strong. She is a fighter. She is the best big sister ever. She would literally do anything for her brothers. She loves her family, even if she doesn’t always admit it. She is passionate. She is fierce. She loves nature. She also has been hurt. She also has struggled more than any 18 year old should have. She has dealt with a lot of horrible things. And yes she has read this before I posted this.
One of my biggest fears about coming on the World Race was that something would happen to her when I was gone. That she would get hurt or hurt herself. I couldn’t imagine being so far away and something happening to her. I cried to God many times. I had people speak words of encouragement over me that God would take care of “things” back home while I was gone. That I could go and everything would be okay. Just a few weeks before I left, me and this amazing young woman has some great conversations about God, life, and the future. I felt a peace about leaving her. I felt peace about trusting God with her life, her health and her joy.
Today I sit here and have realized that God is taking care of things. And I can trust him to keep doing that. My person is doing really well. She is in an amazing community of believers. And is involved in a church. She is going to school and living well. God has been so faithful. And my person has made decisions that have directed her towards life, towards health, towards joy. Thank you Jesus for how you have worked in her life. Thank you Jesus for peace. And thank you Jesus for my favourite girl.
