They say if you have need to pray and seek the Lord but my God is greater than that. Yes Pray is powerful but I think some of us live on a one way street and limit God.
One the race I have learned that even those prays that you say in the deepest hidden chambers of your heart, God hears and He loves those.
Surprise your girl is a relational kind of person, most people knew this but I still am in disbelieve. My squad-mates have told me that people like me and I make them feel like they are the only person speaking and to me that is just how I feel everyone should treat everyone…right, guess it is not but yeah your girl is relational so I LOVE, LOVE living with our host, I love getting to see how they function on a daily, I love getting to see their family dynamics and what they really practice in their homes.
On the race, we do not get to pick who our host is or where we live, we get send a spreadsheet with our ministry info and being in month eight, we have learned that the spreadsheets and what actually happen that month are usually polar opposites..Yay for flexibility!!
This month our spreadsheet said we were staying in a church and I was like okay cool but the Lord heard my hearts desire, yes I would have enjoyed living in a church again but I really really really really wanted to live with the family…drum roll…We are living with the family and THE MOST AMAZING FAMILY!!!!!!! Like for real though.
We got mama and papa who are such a dynamic duo, they are fun, SARCASTIC, I get to be sarcastic and not have to worry about offending (Praise Him that Lives, Applause, shimmy) and their home feels like home, no like for real though, I feel like I am living in my own home, where I can laugh as loud as I want, I feel free to walk around singing or talking to myself out loud (we all talk to ourselves so hold that judgment for another time).
Then there’s Bro, Sis and Cousin!! Moment of honesty, I actually do not know cousins name, I keep forgetting it so I have been calling him cousin and he responds, so yay for me.
Bro and Sis are hilarious and I relate to them on such a weird crazy level, I’ve only known them for a few days/a week and I am already going to miss them. They are young, passionate, driven and love, like really truly love and admire their parents. When I was in my early twenties, I loved my parents but they are on a next level, a level that I am inspired by and pray my children feel about me but more importantly they are crazy in love with God. It is such a rare thing for me to see them running after God in their daily lives, not just a mission trip but LIVES y’all, LIVES!!
Cousin, He is more of a one on one small group kind of person, people think he is shy but he has soo much to say and wisdom lives in him. Yep you already know, he is going to be my new friend by the end of this week and best friend by the end of the month.
So here’s to praying out loud but to a God to hears the prays that are hidden in the deepest chambers of our hearts!!
India you are going to love me well and bring more FUN and JOY!!
**Do not worry y’all, I have some selfies coming your way in next weeks blogs*
