Eating Crumbs from the Masters Table
“Quit your job”!�
It was early morning and as I sat on my bed I heard a voice say loud and clear “Quit your job”�! I fought it for a few mins. Convinced it was me, but the voice was very direct and I couldn’t ignore it. So I quit my job, and in less than 24 hrs. It was clear GOD was calling me to go to PERU. And when I say clear I mean the kind of clear that leave no stone un-turned, no question un-answered and no door still closed.
Four weeks later I boarded a plane with 8 lovely young ladies, and we served in Cajamarca, PERU. Preaching at night in church, and at times playing with kids at the school, PERU was breath taking, challenging, but overall a learning experience. I felt so blessed having been called to lead such amazing women and to serve my SAVIOR on a new continent. I also experienced the Holy Spirit on a new level, and HE took over, leading me daily and leading the team.
But GOD wasn’t finished
Moment before I boarded the plan to Peru I was invited to be an alumni Story leader for the World Race. My heart was exited at the thought of spending months blogging, doing photography and encouraging others to tell stories of the KINGDOM in the same ways. My whole thought was that I would have a quite role, in front of a computer.
But GOD wasn’t finished
After ending my Peru trip, I had literally 24 hours before starting launch for World Race, and somewhere in that time during a visit with my 2 of my loved ones, I got an email informing me that I would not only be Storytelling, but also Squad Leading?
Excuse me GOD?
This meant that I would be co-leading 48 men and women through 5 months in southeast Asia.
INDIA
NEPAL
THAILAND
CAMBODIA
VIETNAM
And then I realized that in this season of GOD moving me forward, HE was also taking me back to some things, people and places that I absolutely loved. I have spent so much time trying to eat the crumbs, instead of feasting from the MASTERS table. I almost forgot that I am not some outcast or a dog, but I am HIS Child, and HE has good gifts for me, and HE loves me! If I had planned my life I would be currently working a decent job, with a decent car, and a decent home. Instead I am currently sitting here blogging with one of the most beautiful scenes of greenery and palm trees in front of me. I lived in an amazing house with 50 missionaries over the last few days where we worshipped together, and lived next to mansions. And I am living in India this month to share the GOSPEL with un-believers and pour OUT into this amazing group of people, all that GOD has poured IN to me.
I am not even sure the word Blessed would cover it.
ABUNDANTLY BLESSED
There is favor all around me, and I have a feeling that my decision to follow JESUS will only bring more Favor. I am honored to be a part of the Great Commission, in such a time as this. And honestly my Life is unfolding EXACTLY as GOD promised. HE spoke over me years ago that I was called to the nations, and here I am. AGAIN! And at a time where I would have chosen for myself, HE stepped in and gave me something better.
INCREDIBLY THANKFUL
I will ALWAYS and in ALL WAYS follow YOU JESUS. To the ends of the earth. I am YOURS, YOU are mine. That’s ENOUGH.
Love,
