Man, a month already?? A month since I was accepted on this crazy journey. A month of meeting some of the most incredible ladies ever. A month of so many emotions, good and bad. A month of God showing me a glimpse of what he’s prepared for me.
I can’t say that the start of this adventure has been all rainbows and butterflies because it most definitely has not been. Satan has tried every weapon in his arsenal to discourage me from this blessing. I’m constantly catching myself doubting if this is really what I’m supposed to do with my life next year. He whispers you’re comfortable why change what you’re doing here and completely drop everything? Well, I’ll tell you why, because my maker didn’t create me to be comfortable, He created me to get out of my comfort zone and step into “icky” situations, situations where I have to be fully reliant on Him. Situations where my faith is tested, where I run to him instead of sitting back watching and waiting for something to change. It’s my time to get uncomfortable and do something to advance His kingdom and I can not express how stoked I am to do so.
2018 broke me, changed me, and prepared me for this upcoming year. I heard a letter read once and in it was the phrase “they tried to bury us but they didn’t know we are seeds.” I’m not sure about you but that hit me right in the heart. No matter how much the enemy uses doubt, hatred, and things of this world to break you down and bury you, you’re a seed and can grow from what buries you. This phrase has been my daily reminder that you may feel buried and defeated but you’re a child of The King and with Him you can grow through anything. WE ARE SEEDS for goodness sake so it’s time to start sprouting out from under whatever has been burying you and bloom right where you are!
Thank you so much for tagging along on this adventure. I ask you to continue to pray for me and my team as we prepare for this. Pray that we make His love known in each and every place we go, not only overseas but right here at home.
