As I sit here today, I am feeling so many different emotions: fear, anxiety, excitement. The list could go on and on, but mostly I feel excitement. I know without a doubt that this is the Path God is calling me on.
Everywhere we go we leave a mark… that’s called our footprint. We often wonder if we’re being remembered. If the advice we give people really makes a difference. As I am writing this blog I’m sitting in the parking lot of my church. Why you ask!?? I have no idea. I felt God telling me to get in my car and drive and this is where I ended up. As I’m sitting here I begin to remember everything I’ve gotten from this church. Every Sunday morning I get at least 10 hugs from people amongst the congregation. Some I’ve known for years, and some I barely even know. Every Sunday morning I leave feeling changed and different in some form. It may be from the sermon, worship music, or even one of those hugs that I was given. I always walk way from this building knowing that God placed all of these wonderful people in my life to leave their footprints on my path. I am where I am today because these people took 5 minutes out of their morning to talk to me, hug me, pray with me, and for me.
I strongly believe that everyone has a plan. God placed people on my path to fuel into my life spiritually so that I could later take everything I had learned and become, and fuel into the lives of the people in this world. I could never imagine leaving for 11 months had I not known the people I do. Had they not left their footprints for me to follow. I want to be able to travel this amazing world our God has created and leave my footprints. I want people to experience the unending love of God. I want them to know that they HAVE a purpose in this world. That someone loves them enough to fuel into their life. That they are worthy enough to be loved. I want this so bad because there was a time I felt so undeserving of all of those things, and had it not been for those people I do not know where or who I would be today.
Word of advice: Always give the advice. Always tell the story. It will make a difference even if you don’t think so yourself. We are often afraid that what we have to say may not be important or isn’t good enough. Take it from someone who knows. Had those people not given me the advice and told me their stories I wouldn’t be on this journey. I would still be feeling lost and undeserving. Those people have given me Hope!
Will you help me. Will you prayerfully consider donating towards my journey. So that I may be able to go out and leave my footprints, to help change this world and give someone hope. Show someone how worthy they are of Gods’ Mercy, Grace, and Love. To hug that child who wakes up every morning feeling like they aren’t good enough and aren’t important.
Blessing, Kimbra
