A year ago.
A year ago I was here in Atlanta about to leave for 9months to go out onto the field to love and serve others as Jesus does. And now I am back about to lead 7girls to do that also. I can’t tell you how blessed and full of peace I am about this. When I first found out I was going to team lead I honestly wasn’t to pleased..but I knew that’s where the Lord was calling me. Being here in Georgia the last week though since being home has been the most normal I’ve felt since being home in June. Not saying home is bad but home was weird and hard in a way of not being intentional with what I am called to do. With having no community to lean on or talk to that get it was very difficult. So when I say normal I mean my normal for the last year was airplane floors and 50 people around me almost always, never being alone. So now I am back with my people- different people although I have two people from my squad with me which is nice because we can talk about things from our race and we get it. But I have this community of people around me the same age all aiming for the same things. Everyone chasing the Lord with there whole being and just crying out to Jesus because we are expectant on Him to move. The other day I had a co leader with me speak over me Jesus words of saying “celebrate where you are, this is where you are suppose to be, you are home” and I can’t tell you how badly I needed that affirmation of just know God sees me here and he wants me here. This is his plan and he is celebrating this life in where I am at with me.
The emotions are everywhere with feelings at where I was a year ago and now- the same hotel the same city but a different me- thank you Jesus for that. Thank you to everyone that has pushed me in getting here and have loved me through all my wack emotions. I love you all so much and just urge you to lean into Jesus and ask him where this season of life you should be at.
My squad (30 total with leaders) leaves in the morning to go to Costa Rica! While being there I’m going to try and stay as present as possible so I will get on internet to post blogs but if you message me I can’t promise I will respond unless I need to in the moment I might wait awhile. Thank you again so much and I love you all so much!
Blessings, Sydney(:
