You know God loves to make things happen right when they are supposed to.
Leading up to those moments we beg and beg for things to happen, maybe they are happening and we aren’t seeing them, or maybe it’s just not time yet.
That’s pretty much what has happened to me, again.
I’ve been praying for months now about the idea of something.
Praying God would make it known to me though another person.
Specifically I wanted Him to tell my Squad Mentor TT and then have her tell me.
I wasn’t content with His voice and wanted a second voice.
I love TT, but even she will agree, God’s voice is better than hers.
Since God wasn’t doing what I wanted I came up with a new plan. When I made that plan it was one week away from the release of something and if two of the three things are what I think they need to be, then I will know.
Um nope. Wrong again!
God finally got my attention, via a trip to Disney World…
And yes, I know this is cryptic, that’s the point!
Anyway, when we were in Kenya we met a lot of amazing people! Two of those people are Bill and Tammy who invited our team to Florida in January to visit and possibly speak at a conference and to go to Disney World! Every time my team talked about it I felt so uneasy, like I wouldn’t be there for some reason.
And that’s how God got my attention.
He was telling me January.
I was so caught up in my own plan I almost missed it.
He wasn’t telling me what I wanted to hear so I wasn’t fully listening.
January.
But what did this mean? It hit me out of nowhere like a ton of bricks.
JANUARY!
January of 2020 God wanted me to do something.
I still followed my plan for a bit when He said January, I decided I would go the easier “route” but then found out that didn’t exist. So then I chose another way to still go with that plan and give God my January but He told me to stop running and believe He could make me able to do what He wants. I wrote a blog about that conversation I had with Him a few weeks back titled Doubting Myself.
So then I gave in. I surrendered my plans and literally knelt down and laid them on the ground.
I began a process that took over a month and prayed a lot. I prayed mainly for patience but also for peace. I had peace in my heart but not in my head. God brought confirmation after confirmation to me during the next few weeks as I waited.
I got to see my parents right in the beginning of this process and they were the biggest confirmation of all since they already knew something was happening.
During breakfast one day my mom asked me, “so how much time will we have with you in December before you leave?”
Well like I said, God said JANUARY.
So that’s what I told her, until January!
And as of this morning I can officially share what January means!
In January of 2020 I will be Alumni Team Leading for the first three months of C Squads World Race!
I will be going to Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand!
Training Camp begins on the 17th of this month so I will be on U.S. soil in 13 days!!
Like I said, God loves to make things happen right when they are supposed to and apparently that was today!
Thank you so much for continuing on this journey with me!!
I am sure I will have more to share soon!
