I am learning so much here in Mozambique, more than I thought I would… However, I don’t want to stay here…
Before the World Race I was working and 9-5 job and was going to school full time. That was my life, and I was happy with it. It wasn’t until God intervened in my life, that I ever dreamed out side of my little box. I never dreamed of going outside of my little home in my little town- of my little country!
Until one day, when I got a little vision from God…
It was of about 8 young kids sitting under a shelter made of sticks and palm tree branches, protecting them from the heat of the sun, there little legs drawn up to their chests, and they sat there… Watching me with their brown eyes… and I came close and closer towards them.
I knew what this vision meant… It meant I would see this exact vision in the future.. somewhere, sometime.
Mozambique is full of women in long wrapped skirts, usually carrying a child on their backs snuggled inside a blanket, even potentially carrying 40 pound water jugs on their heads! Sometimes these women in the village have to walk miles for clean water.
The kids here run around with barely any clothes on, without shoes and are as happy as can be… Especially when we sing with them, dancing in the rain and stomping in the mud puddles, yelling at the top of our lungs. The kids need something that is inside of us… they see the Jesus and want it. They want our LOVE.
After several months on the Race, I began to wonder and ask God, “Hey God… do you remember that vision you showed me before the Race? You know, they one with the kids sitting under the shelter, staring at me as I walk toward them? Am I ever going to see that?”
Well… I got it. I saw the vision. Walking down a dirt road in Mozambique on the way home from ministry, there it was: “It was of about 8 young kids sitting under a shelter made of sticks and palm tree branches, protecting them from the heat of the sun, there little legs drawn up to their chests, and they sat there… Watching me with their brown eyes come closer towards them.”
In that moment I felt protection, just like the kids felt as the roof of the shelter kept them from the heat of the sun. God is guiding me in His perfect plan and will for my life.
However, as good as it is here… I really honestly, Don’t Want To Stay!
I Don’t Want To Stay Here… in this place.
I Don’t Want To Be Comfortable.
I want to experience the Unimaginable
…the Unbelievable
Because I know that’s what God has for me! And for you! He wants to propel us forward into the future with dreams, hope and a destiny. He’s going to guide me all the way there. I am ready.. are YOU? Take the risks, step out of your comfort zone. Be uncomfortable for God and see what He can do!
Praise the Lord for His Provision in My Life!
