I’m not really sure how to start this but I have no idea how 11 days in the woods of northern Georgia could change my life so drastically. Night one I got smacked right in the face, I might get to that in this blog or might leave it for another time…
I didn’t really know what to expect when I stepped onto the campus of adventure in missions. I told myself to be me, don’t hold back just be the goofy,funny, best version of me I know how to be. Something I have always struggled with. Letting people see the real me and not putting up walls. Thinking they wouldn’t like me if they really knew me, God made me just the way He wanted me to be and to be comfortable with that.
I met 28 strangers from all over the U.S. that I quickly fell in love with. I quickly had this feeling that these are my people, my family, my squad. All of them meant to be right here in all walks with God but perfectly meshed together for a common purpose. Spread the love of Jesus we just can’t contain.
God spoke into my life this week like never before, clearing my mind of overthinking. Something I never thought I could shake and just thought was apart of me. He focused my thoughts showing me just a little glimpse what He has in store for me this year. This common message kept running in my head giving me confidence.
OF COURSE HES NOT SAFE.
BUT HE IS GOOD.
Following God is not safe, it is radical, it is wild, it is unfamiliar and way out of your comfort zone but He is good. He will take care of you, but like any good parent He will push you to make you the best version of you.
I come home for just two months before leaving to Australia and as I write this in the airport waiting for my flight back to California my heart aches holding back tears already missing my crazy little bold family. I can’t wait to see them and it hasn’t even been few hours. This year will be wild but I can’t wait to embark on this journey that God has called us to do.
