Isaiah 52:7 “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!'”
We all have felt that calling. That whisper in the wind telling us to go. That’s the reason my team and I are gathering on Wednesday, June 8th. We’ve all felt that calling to go out into the world and make God known. We’ve all had the same pull on our hearts. The same burn in our souls. With only 4 days until I sit on a plane on my way to meet my team for the first time, I am training my body for this chapter of my life. I am training my body for sleep deprivation, walking miles upon miles each day, hunger for a decent bite to eat, and lack of personal space. All of these things I will experience on the Race, so I train now for what is to come.
I have hiked the 3 miles that is required at training camp twice and have done in within the required time limit both times. I attribute this achievement to no one else but God Himself because there’s no way I could have done this without Him. I couldn’t push my body to do such things without His spirit in me guiding my every step and carrying me when I felt like I couldn’t go on any longer.
He is absolutely perfect and I couldn’t ask for anything else but for His PERFECT will to be done in all things. He did everything required to save us and hold us in His arms and His arms are big enough for every single person there ever was, is, and will be and for Him to take time to carry me on a hike is so humbling. I have fallen to my knees too many times in this journey on the World Race and He has lifted me each time.
I can’t imagine the day I get to lay eyes upon Him.
I can’t imagine the day I get to thank Him for saving me
and raising me when I was weak.
He is such a good GOOD Father and training for the World Race has been a journey in itself that I am extremely thankful for because I have learned to push myself past my fleshly limits because it is not me but Him inside me that is guiding me.
He’s so cool.
So how beautiful are the feet because these are the feet that carry His good news and it’s a blessing to do so. Even when times get hard and you get weak. It is always a blessing.
August 5th cannot come fast enough!
