really realize how much I enjoyed the month until I was thanking the church on
our last day there and I got choked up. It was weird. I don’t usually get
emotional like that.
in the capital city, Kathmandu, to rest and
relax. I’ve been reflecting on the month. Why did I love this month so much?
Was it that mountains? The ministry? The people? The food? My new team? The
village?
While all of these factors play a key role in my well-being
not one of them was the answer. And
I’ve got the answer – God.
God spoke to me this month.
I sought after God’s truth for my life.
I heard God.
God used me.
When I started the month I was scared to death about leading
a team. I didn’t think I was spiritually mature enough to push these girls
farther. Lies. God revealed that to me quickly. I spent a lot of time in prayer
where God filled me with truth that I was able to declare any time the enemy
attacked my insecurities. Incredible personal
growth this month is what made it so great.
I have always been super scared and nervous to share a short
message to encourage people while evangelizing door-to-door. Not this month.
God was giving me scriptures to share and words to speak. He used me as His
vessel. I didn’t have to do anything but let Him do the work through me. There
were times that I knew it was Him because the translator would ask me to repeat
what I had just said and I couldn’t because I didn’t know what I said. They
were God’s words – not mine.
preaching that I needed to share personal stories that aren’t always merry to
share, but I did it. He used my story to touch the lives of people sitting
there. People responded in amazing ways. Even our contact told me that my
message “touched her heart”. I know that this small town girl couldn’t do that
without some help from my Heavenly Father. He is so good and faithful. Glory to
God.
“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee
from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.”
James 4:7-8
