in this whole season of preparation, it’s easy to think of what will happen next year; who i’ll meet, who i’ll become, coming home. it’s really easy to think about coming home; seeing family, friends, sleeping in my own bed. the excitement of seeing loved ones again.
but leaving is difficult too.
anxiety is a constant companion, bugging me about being on time to work, fundraising, if i have everything i will need from rei, if i’m praying right..
sometimes, the weight of my journey weighs heavy on my shoulders.. how this will impact my parents, my brothers, my family, my friendships. it weighs heavy, especially when i think i can shoulder it alone.
sometimes i feel as if i’m sinking in a sea mixed of anxiety, sadness, and loneliness.
but Jesus is so good, he dropped this right on my lap the other day:
psalm 93:3-4
The seas have lifted up, Lord,
the seas have lifted up their voice;
the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.
Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers of the sea—
the Lord on high is mighty.
no matter what you are facing, Jesus is bigger every time.
so I am leaving my leaving anxiety behind, because I am not sinking. the Holy Spirit is right there beside me, walking with me, bringing alongside me mentors and friends to help me along the way.
Matthew 28:20
I am with you always, til the end of the age
i’ll hold this close to my heart as i prepare for training camp (which I leave for in 5 days??) i cannot believe tc is almost here, please pray for me and my team as we go and prepare to go out and bring glory to God.
thank you to my aunt carrie and uncle charles!!
