I returned home from WR training camp yesterday and I'm still trying to process it all. There's so many thoughts, feelings, and songs constantly running thru my mind. It all still seems unreal, but it happened and I'm glad! I'll never be the same again! My eyes have officially been opened to a lot of things I didn't even realize I couldn't already see. My heart has already begun to be transformed into more of what it should be. My mind has been cleared. My burdens have been lifted. My JOY has finally returned!
I am so unbelievably thankful for the chance to be a part of this amazing ministry to reach people across the world for Christ in such a unique, awe-inspiring, self-finding way. I am truly more thankful than words could ever express! The World Race doesn't focus on trying to "fix" people and just move on… we focus on intentionally building lasting relationships, genuine friendships, and pouring out love to everyone we meet! We focus on proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ and bearing fruits of our faith! We focus on being real with ourselves and with others! This ministry isn't for the faint of heart. It stretches us, bends us, and breaks us apart sometimes… but thankfully, it also re-builds what has fallen, mends what is broken, and provides support in every sense of the word with a strong family bond that NO ONE can break apart!
One of the things I was told by various people throughout the week was that I have a voice and it's ready to be heard! My hope and prayer is that whenever it's heard it's pointing people to the wonderful love of my Savior… not to myself or anything negative! Father, use me as you see fit… I wanna shout your name among the nations! I will not be silent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTI9B9k0ubs&feature=related
