This past week we got home from camp and entered the Global Campus and we ran into our separate houses and into our rooms. And I yelled as I jumped on my bed I screamed, “ We are home!!!!!!!!!” Home. That is so weird to say when my family, friends, and everything I have ever known is across the globe. But J-Bay and my squad have truly become home these past two weeks. Our hosts have been so amazing. To taking us to their favorite restaurants and having good conversations that make you think about life to cooking us meals and encouraging us. They are consistent and pour into us. Global is so so special and I have fallen in love with the area I am in, but with that said my team, Refinement, and the guys team, Abide, get the opportunity to move to
Johannesburg. There we will get to evangelize, preach, and teach. The ministry is super hands on outreach. Therefore, our squad will be split for the next 2 months.
Hearing about the ministry is everything I am nervous about. Public speaking, praying out loud for people, and having to speak up is nerve racking. The outreach we will be doing is hard. Going there will be me COMPLETELY stepping out of my comfort zone and COMPLETELY trust in God. Last night when we found this out we had just before sung the song “ New Wine “. It says, “ In the pressing. In the crushing. You are making new wine… So make me a vessel, make me an offering, make me whatever you want me to be. “ This is going to be pressing and crushing, but in it I will get to be a vessel for the Lord of the Universe. How lucky am I to get to fall down on my knees in front of Jesus and be stretched. The song lyrics in New Wine are dangerous. It is giving EVERYTHING away to God. Today and everyday I get to do that. Johannesburg, you are going to be tough. You are going to stretch me, but I am expectant to see what you are going to do. And again. Because of Him. It is Well.
