As I have embarked on this new journey in my life I’ve wondered what it looks like. Is it me just going to another part of the world I’ve never been before? Is it me stepping out in faith when others choose to run? Am I truly doing what the Lord has called me to do? All of these questions and many more swam in my head for the weeks that lead up to training camp. During that time of training my leader Lindsey showed us what God had revealed to her about what our team looked like. The phrase was “Reckless Pursuit”. After our team time reckless pursuit kept popping up in my mind. So, I started asking God what does my reckless pursuit of Him look like, was I actually recklessly pursuing His will for my life, what even is something that I’m recklessly pursuing. The more I looked into this concept the more God was telling me that I was exactly where He had planned for me to be. I was recklessly pursing Him with my heart wide open. I had given up everything that society told me that I had to do in order to go for what God had called me to do. But my reckless pursuit doesn’t end it is a way that I am living out my faith. During travel days am I recklessly pursuing every opportunity to the best of my ability; at the orphanage am I recklessly pursuing the relationships with the kids; with my team am I recklessly pursuing the times of growth. My reckless pursuit is a time of growth, a time where I don’t always know the answers, a time where I am uncomfortable, a time where I am joyful, its a time where in my walk with Jesus has no hesitation.
Here in Cambodia I have already seen unexplainable joy from kids who have nothing and a heart to serve us when we are here to serve them. The Cambodian people have captured my heart in the short amount of time that we have been here. Please continue to pray for my team and for Gods Will to be done here. The children are recklessly pursuing us in so many ways. I pray that while you are on your mission filed that you are recklessly pursuing Gods will in your life.
