There are many reason to go and be the feet of Jesus. One way the Lord really brought to light for me recently is this; building my foundation.
We are all called. There are many different forms of what it looks like when his people are called. Some sing in the choir, teach Sunday school, being a preacher, missionaries, etc. One thing they all have in common is leading people to Christ. They all look different but serve the same purpose. Some require greater sacrifice than others. But they all bring people together to tell them the wonderful news about Jesus.
Accepting the path the Lord is calling me on is hard to adjust too. It’s pushing me beyond my limits, forcing me to break down my fears and allowing me to find Jesus in ways I’ve never known him before.
I’m going to be leaving my family in 6 months to embarks on a life changing experience. It’s going to push me in ways I can’t seem to imagine, it ask of sacrifice, to leave behind what I know on a normal day to day routine. I’m giving up 11 months of nieces and nephews birthdays, softball and baseball games, the start of kindergarten, the first year of my nieces life. I’m giving up on college for 11 months, holidays with the family and so many other things.
Although I’ll be giving up so much, I’ll gain ten times worth the amount of things in comparison. I’m gonna be able to be the right examples my nieces and nephews get to look up to. I pray to be an example to them. Someone they can look up too, to know how to follow Jesus and do what it takes to be obiediant. I’ll get to tell the gospel to people and see Jesus move and witness miracles! I’ll come back with so many stories of Jesus and get to share them with all my loved ones in hopes they too can see Jesus through his good works.
Most of all, I want this experiqnce to build my foundation. I want to see Jesus in ways I’ve never seen him before. I want to hear his voice, for it to be so familiar to me like my own voice is. I wanna grow so close to Jesus in ways I am not aware of yet. I wanna learn from Jesus. Lord, break my heart for what breaks yours. Open my eyes to see what you see. Allow my ears to hear what you hear. Just, make me more like You! I wanna be so in love with you Lord Jesus!
Make my life a love song to You!
Amen.
** the thought of having a blog has just been so terrifyng to me. It’s blocked me from being able to express where this season of my life is taken me and how I got to this journey. So, therefore, I’m going to start using and thinking of this as my prayer journal. It makes it not seem so daunting and unfamiliar. I hope you can get to know me, and know my heart just a little bit better this way. Thank you for taking the time to read and support me! God Bless You!
