So as most of you know I am currently attending CGA(Center for Global Action) here at Adventures.
From the mouth of Adventures,
"The CGA/Apprentice Program is a launching pad dedicated to holistic development through community, apprenticeship and discipleship. We exist to activate a generation in their Kingdom role."
And that is exactly what I see happening in my life and the people around me. Through living with like-minded borthers and sisters (community) and being challenged, trained, mentored and empowered (apprenticeship and discipleship) I really do feel as if I am being activated.
What does that really look like, well I think I can sum it up in one word… trust!
Since getting to CGA, I have had one prayer that has sung louder than the rest.
This was part of my journal entry on Jan 25th, four days after arriving here in Georgia, about 7 weeks after getting home from the Race.
Last week, I wrote in my journal, "I trust you God." I felt Him smile down on me in that moment. Only a few short months earlier I had been in tears asking God to help me trust him, and now I was presenting the same word to him, but with peace instead of confusion.
Does that mean that I have everything figured out? That I now know the plans God has for my life and that all my ducks are in a row?
Well, no, not at all. Actually, the more I Iearn and grow, the less I know.
My trust in The Lord has grown not because he has given me everything I want, or because he has told me everything I want to know, but because I trusted him.
This is what I am learning, to trust leads to a deeper dependence on the Lord, a deeper intimacy. To turst is not easy. To trust is to take risks. It leads to movement. It takes you from the shallow end to deeper and deeper depths of his love. To trust is to see his faithfulness. To trust is to experience life. To trust is freedom.
