If you know me well then you know that I hate jello with a passion and do not enjoy eating it. However, this week I ate jello for the first time in 8 years. This was jello like none other though. It was strawberry with fresh strawberries cut up in it and it was served with ice cream on top. So it was doctored up quite a bit, band perhaps that is what made me like it so much, but still it was a bit of a step for me trying something I previously have hated.
This week at Launch training I have had a lot of things happen that I think are going to push me to try things I have not done before. Every single night during worship I had people come to me and speak such truth over me. They have spoke of my fear to step out (true and most of the people who spoke this would have no idea). They have also spoke of what will happen if I step out and trust God. They have told me that God is going to bring peace and emotional healing through my soft and gentle words and heart. They have said I will bring love to the children and women and that the nations will response to my heart. Those are some pretty big words to live up to. Really it isn’t me who will be doing any of this. All I have to do is follow God where He is leading and do what He asks, then He will cause these amazing things to happen. In order to do these things though I will have to do things I’ve never done. I’m going to have to let my voice be heard. It won’t have to be a loud and booming voice, but I will still have to let it come out. This is something I don’t usually enjoy, but I know that like the jello with all the good stuff in it, if I step out in faith and follow God where He leads and do the thing I don’t enjoy right now that I will find goodness and great things to come, just like I did in that awesome jello we had for dinner a few nights ago.
