PVT (parent vision trip) has officially come to an end and we are getting ready to fly to Peru.
PVT was so incredible. Being able to share a glimpse of what the last 8 months has looked like for me with my Dad is something I will cherish forever. It was a great marker for me to see how much I’ve grown. Being able to worship and listen to God’s voice with my dad was amazing. It’s really hard for me to put into words what it was like to have my dad in Spain. For the first few days it didn’t feel real and then it was time for him to leave. God was/ is so faithful. It was such a blessing to have him here. Also there was talk of me being sent home and the guys taking him to Peru. So I’d say he was a hit… wouldn’t be surprised if they all showed up at the house and took it over for a guys weekend… ha it was so much fun!
I was a little concerned that after seeing my dad I would be ready to go home instead of finishing strong. But then something clicked.
I REFUSE to finish strong.
You might be low key panicking… just hear me out. This lifestyle, the race way of living, is the way I am choosing to live the rest of my life. I don’t want to go back to how I lived my life before this race. I can’t live my life to the fullest if Jesus is not the center. If I’m not taking time to hear His voice then what is the point of living?
The question is never, “Is God speaking?”
The question is always, “Am I listening?”
So with that being said, I will not be finishing anything. This journey is so much more than just traveling the world. It is so much more than I could have ever imagined. Being in a place where I can take the time and seek God’s face and His plan for me in the moment is something I never want to lose. The Father’s love for us is so bold and intense we just need to be. He just wants us and He wants us to just want Him.
If you feel like you’ve been far from God and you can’t hear His voice just sit with Him. Turn on some worship music and just be with Him. Stop trying to figure everything out, silent all the voices in you head, and just sit there. God just wants you. He is faithful. He will show up.
