I wrote the following as we drove back on Sunday:
I am absolutely amazed by Him. I am amazed by all that He has created. I am amazed by all He allows me to experience. I am amazed that He has given me another day to live. I am amazed by all that He shows me and thankful for all that He keeps concealed.
He is sovereign.
We are currently traveling on at least 4 different buses for 5+X hours to return home from our weekend adventure and it is the perfect time for me to reflect on everything that He allowed me to see this weekend, including the big beautiful lake and majestic waterfalls.
But as we passed through town I saw new things. New faces. More poverty. More lost sheep. Different hurts and visible pains.
I don't know how He sees all of this all the time…
It reminds me that He is tender with me, even though I pray that my heart would break for what breaks His.
He is showing me just small pieces, all in His timing.
I frequently feel helpless, which I absolutely hate, but it forces me to depend on Him more as a lot of the time all I can do is pray. Like today when we got off one of our buses, the ticket taker guy helped us get our bags off from underneath and it wasn't until the bus was out of sight that we realized that he also took off someone else's. I felt terrible. There was nothing I could do and honestly, I didn't think to pray that it gets returned to the right girl until I began writing this paragraph.
Which is the point exactly! I need to RUN to Him with everything!
Please pray that I would depend on Him more and trust Him wholly. Pray that I would rest in His grace and through experiencing it myself, I would eagerly lavish it upon everyone around me. Pray that I would savor my last full week in Honduras and follow and trust the Lord with whatever He has in store.
Thank you for your partnership! Just a reminder that I still need another $1,000 by the end of November in order to stay on the Race (& I have one more deadline of $4,500 at the end of February). I ask that you would prayerfully consider financially supporting as you continue to pray for me and my team.
Please feel free to ask me questions and/ or comment about anything! 🙂
***part 2 coming soon!***
