Genesis 35:14 talks about Jacob “setting up a stone pillar where God had talked with him”
This week I’ve been thinking about these stones of remembrance in my own life- they’re pivotal moments that I’ll never forget+ they’re life changing. They’re those times that “I know that I know that I know”—moments that were undeniably God.
Uganda last year gave me several- definitely of Stonehenge proportions that I seriously cherish more than I could explain.
This year’s given me a lot—these=more like kidney stones if I’m being honest-it’s been a painful/rough year, but remarkably worth it.
And the soundtrack to this whole World Race journey might as well be Rolling Stones because I’ve been given so many chances to set up pillars where God’s undeniably worked, like this week.
Not only did I turn 22, hello mid-twenties, but I’ve been insanely blessed, as old lady as that sounds, by a lot o’ people. In what was kind of a slump of support raising stuff, someone gave me a cool $1,000 and a couple other friends are going to buy my airfare to and from our launch site (LA).
Sweet Caroline-might as well just call me stoned at this point, bada bing, because I’ll never forget weeks like these… where things happened that have nothing to do with my efforts and blow my mind and expectations by bringing hope, life, light, and encouragement completely out of my control.
