i should be coming home

I should be coming Home

I should be on the way to the airport in Ecuador with the rest of my squad

I should be saying hard goodbyes

I should be looking forward to seeing family I haven’t seen in 9 months.

 

Well, the reality is I’m not doing any of those things or where I “should be”  but I’m learning that is ok and He is using me right where I am. When I launched on World Race gap year I never thought I wouldn’t have finished or that I would come home to then be on World Race America. However, here I am in Southern California 2000 miles away from home,  traveling the US in a van, loving people like Jesus.

 

I know it was God’s plan for me to come home and be on World Race America, It’s just hard sometimes to wrap my head around it. There’s a lot of emotions going on right now in my head and heart. It’s definitely a hard time because the devil feeds me a lot of lies that “I’m a failure” “I’m worthless.” I understand that the enemy has no power over me because I am a child of God but at times the lies weigh me down. A verse that I continue to remember during this time is Romans 8:28  And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

To GAP R

I pray as you return that the Father would pour out His love for you. I pray over your parents that they would show you so much grace as you are readjusting to life in the states. I pray that you are able to put on the full armor of God and resist old temptations. I pray that you would forgive those you need to forgive and if you need to, forgive AIM, there is no point in holding bitterness against anyone or anything. I pray that you won’t lose your daily time with the Lord. I pray that no matter where you go that you would be Jesus to everyone you encounter.

Super proud of y’all!!

love,

Ben
