hey everyone! I hope you’re doing well even throughout all of the craziness that’s going on in the world right now. as most of you know by now I am home in Colorado and have been here for about two weeks.
to be completely honest I’m not exactly sure how to write this blog, I feel like there’s so much I could tell you. I could tell you about how leaving my squad family hurts in the deepest part of my heart. I could tell you about how I’ve felt so overwhelmed by the consumer culture that America is obsessed with. I could tell you about the sweet comfort I’ve found in how consistent Abba is – never changing from season to season. I could tell you about my frustrations and my joys and my sadness, and everything else that comes with re-entry.
I think this is the most important thing you need to know – the sweetness of intimacy with Abba, the God of the universe never changes. Whether I’m in Romania, Guatemala, Ecuador or Centennial, CO. my Father is the same. He is reigning on His glorious throne, waiting for you and I to draw close to Him. He is eagerly waiting for us to sit at His feet, He is pursuing a divine romance with us. In this season of not being able to go out and minister to people because of quarantine, I believe that Jesus wants to teach you and I about sitting at the feet of a loving Father. He wants to show us what it looks like to lose the things we once placed on the throne of our hearts – our jobs, travel, our family, greed, etc.- and to gain everything in His Kingdom – eternal life in the Name of Jesus. What a glorious exchange He wants to gift us.
so yeah, this season is hard and that’s okay cause Jesus is right here with you and I. lets not lose our hope!! Jesus is still good! He is still reigning glorious over all of creation!! He is waiting for us with open arms ready for us to look into His eyes, and listen to His voice, and feel His embrace. Thanks God that you are a good Dad and that you are the perfect friend and that you desire to spend all day with me in the secret place.
I am praying for you, friend. He loves you.
go read Psalm 23. its real good I promise.
