This month in Haiti has been so difficult for me. The first week was nothing but oppression for my spirit. But through the power of prayer that was overcome. The Holy Spirit has been my constant companion, showing me new things.
This month I learned that I’m a warrior. God is equipping me to fight a bigger battle than I’ve ever fought before. He is gently guiding me to the battle grounds. Piece by piece He is girding me with armor. He has called me into greatness and given me the empowerment to carry out what He has called me to do.
Over the years I have prayed for different things: wisdom, boldness, patience, joy, and to have no fear. Haiti has truly made me realize that He has grown me in each of these areas. He is guiding me in each gift and each attribute. He is whispering to my heart who He has designed me to be. I’m beginning more then ever to walk in my true identity in Him.
A warrior. A daughter. A leader. A teacher. A quiet listener and a bold speaker. Beloved.
Each day I feel His gentle finger on a new area of my life, quietly bringing it to my attention. Habits I have had all my life are being brought to the surface and gently corrected. This process isn’t the most comfortable in the world, but it is one that will bring me closer to who I truly am in Him.
He has made me sensitive to His voice and His presence. As well as a sensitivity to the presence that isn’t His at all. He is fine tuning my senses to receive on more then physical levels what the Spirit is doing.
Haiti was a hard month, but a beautiful month. I have fallen in love with this country. God has quickened my heart for this place where the Spirit is in constant awareness. There is a beauty to be found when God shows His power in a tangible ways everywhere you look. The atmosphere is suffocating, but with new eyes there is beauty everywhere to be found.
