“Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of you heart.”
Psalm 37:4
I always had a quiet desire to do missions work overseas. Love on the unloved. Heal the sick. Mend the broken.
As I organized my life and reached for the “American dream,” the desire for missions slipped further and further down on my to do list. School gets you the degree for the job. The job gets you money for the dream life. Somewhere between working for that dream, I lost myself. I lost what was most important to me.
The funny thing about the “American dream” is….it can all fade away. This is what it took for me to find myself…my true self.
God.
When I was hurting all I could manage to say sometimes was, “GOD!!! ….help.”
He did. He picked each piece of my heart up and put it back together a little differently. He added something. Something in me is different. I feel more sure of who I am and who I was created to be.
The World Race. A journey to 11 different countries in 11 months to bring the kingdom of God. Love on the unloved. Heal the sick. Mend the broken.
What was once just a whisper has erupted into such a desire that I felt I needed to leave home, quit my job, give up my apartment, sell my things, and say goodbye to those I love for 11 months. Talk about uncomfortable!
God is gracious and merciful and has granted me my heart’s true desire.
Him.
More God. I want more.
I leave for training camp in 3 weeks!!!!!! Training camp is 10 days to prepare me for what life on the Race will look like. Wilderness, cultural training, worship, physical training. There will be mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual stretching during those 10 days so I would ask that you pray for me.
With there only being 15 weeks remaining until I leave the country I ask that you would consider donating! Be apart of what God is doing by supporting financially!
From the bottom of my God-saturated heart, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
