It’s something we’ve talked a lot about. My team and Unveiled (the team we’re working with this month) talk circles around the “what if’s” of it all. Where will you live? What will you do? How will you decorate? How long will you be there? Where will you get money? This is exciting … this is scary … this is … getting real.
Not surprisingly, God has begun to answer all of those questions (and then some) over the past week. Where I’ll live, what I’ll do, and all the other questions we bog ourselves down with.
Katie and I laid in her tent in the mountains this week talking about senseless stuff and laughing about bodily functions. We have really mature conversations. When she changed gears and asked if I was excited, I answered her like this:
“Pretend like I know everything in the world – past, present, and future. Ya know, my knowledge is unlimited and I tell you to go sit at that table. You’re exhausted and all you want to do is lay down in your tent and rest. But I say, ‘No Katie, go sit at the table.’ All you can think about is that you’re tired and want to lay down. However, my knowledge is infinite and I know that in five minutes, you need to be sitting at that table because your boyfriend is going to walk in and propose. You don’t want to get up and go do it because your flesh is tired and weak. But you know two very important things: (1) I know everything and (2) I love you and I would never tell you to do something that is not in your best interest. So against your flesh and your own will, you not only walk to the table but allow me to help carry you there.”
Like so, God has invited me to go an adventure with Him in Costa Rica. In two weeks my World Race will end, I’ll return home to pack my things and three weeks later I will get on yet another airplane headed back south.
That’s right, I’M MOVING TO COSTA RICA!!
I’m sure a million questions are swarming your head just like they did mine. I’m exhausted from my race – my flesh is tired and all I want to do is lay down and rest. But I know two very important things: God knows everything and loves me a freakin’ lot.
And for whatever reason, He has chosen me + Him + Costa Rica to = magic for this season.
