It’s crazy to think that in exactly 3 months, one day, 12 hours, 14 minutes, and (roughly) seven seconds, I’ll be with my amazing squad about to hop on a plane and embark on this crazy journey. With each passing day and each new testament of faithfulness the Lord has shown me, this trip is becoming more and more real; I can’t wait to leave and see all that he holds for me and the people I get to serve within the next year of my life.
One of those crazy faithfulness things is the fact that I only need $5,500 more dollars until I’m fully funded! (the donate link is right above this article, and I know you can help me reduce that number even more!)
But right now, I’m finding it hard to be where I am versus where I know I will be in the matter of a few months. Being “where I am” and still trying to be effective in my hometown and in the circles God has placed me in for this season of preparation is something I didn’t anticipate being as a big of a struggle as it has been.
But what I know is this- the same God that is stirring hearts in foreign places, like Swaziland, India, Nepal, and Guatemala, is the same God that is stirring hearts in Granville, Ohio. And Newark, and Heath, and Columbus, and way beyond. He is living and is active everywhere, and He has graciously invited me, and you, to participate in the story he is writing here, as well as all across the world. We serve a God who is constantly redeeming us and transforming us to look more like him in everything we do, no matter what that looks like geographically.
So, if you’re in a season of preparation like me, or a season of abundance, or waiting, or stillness, or anything else in between, He is still the same God who is calling you to love those around you and to serve those he has placed in your life, no matter where you are or what your circumstances may call for. Enjoy the process, and take notice of the ways he is orchestrating his goodness all throughout your life. He is always present and always inviting you to participate in something that is way bigger than you could dream up for yourself.
Oh, and by the way, now it’s 3 Months, one day, 11 hours, 59 minutes, and (roughly), 3 seconds.
Say yes to Him today.
