My World Race has begun!!
I have made it to DC and am staying in The Holiday Inn with my
squad for the week of launch. Ally, my good friend from training camp, and I
actually ended up in the same room! God is good! We couldn’t help but giggle
about how excited we were to be together again.
Welcome to Life. This was one of the first
things that caught my attention during worship this evening.
Worship was so good. God, I have missed worshiping you in the
midst of complete and utter freedom.
Welcome to Life. I am now officially a World Racer! What does that
mean? God only knows the Adventures that will begin from here. But what I know is
that I am living in God’s plan and God’s purpose.
The last few days at home were so wonderful. God blessed me with
so much love and support from family and friends.
My Mom and Dad dropped me off at the airport around noon today. It
was so hard to say goodbye. We cried and they watched me go through the
security lines until they couldn’t see me any longer.
Mom said something really cool today when she prayed with me for
the last time: “God, we are so honored that you have chosen our daughter to
serve you in this way.�
My parents are releasing me. They are letting go of
what God gave them for a short period of time and sending me off into the
nations. I am so proud of them.
And so, this is my new life. This chapter has been written in my
story long before I was born. God has set up divine appointment for the people
my squad and I will reach and encounter.
As we prepare to leave the country, we were asked to take a screen
fast. No computer, no cell phone, nothing to distract us. This will start
tomorrow morning until the day we leave.
So, God is preparing my heart. There is a
wall up, I can’t figure out what it is, but he is knocking at the door. He wants
to come in my heart and take over. I am continuing to surrender, to live an
abandoned life, and to grieve when possible. My break down is coming, I just
don’t know when.
Welcome to Life. Thank you for this sweet
life Jesus.
