Yes, if you know me well at all you would know how much of an outragous statement this is! But that is what I found myself doing the other night.
So I am just going to be real with you guys: Adjusting to the food here is hard. A lot of us have gotten quite sick. We are not being fed anything nasty by any means, but things here are cooked in different oils and prepared different ways than we are used to in the states. So the other night I found myself very sick and not wanting to eat anything. Which is another odd feeling for me since I LOVE food. But for some reason, I could not shake this bad sickly feeling.
I remember once at some conference for Answering God’s Call or something, it was said that “answering the call to ministry from God in your life is just like throwing up. At first you feel all funny and weird and you aren’t sure what is going on or what will come, but then after you puke you relieve yourself by taking that leap of faith and getting it over with. Then you feel all better.” Interesting way of looking at it. I answered the call to ministry in my life a while ago. However I never fully gave my life to God. Let Him take hold of all of my plans for my life, every little detail be His own and not my own. You know, that whole “THY will be done” thing. I never knew what that looked like or how to do it at all. That was a foreign subject for me…until the start of The World Race.
Tonight, I will pray for puke for each and everyone of you. I want everyone to get to thst point of uncomfort that you HAVE to focus on God to get better. That He will be the one you wake up for, move for, breathe for and ultimately live for. Can you imagine what the world would look like if we all lived like that?!
