Sorry it’s been a few weeks since I last blogged.
School and work have basically consumed my life lately. But here I am now, catching y’all up to speed about where my heart is at and my current spot in this journey thus far.
I’m taking a full load of classes this summer and working 30+ hours each week. It’s been a challenge making time for fundraising and making time for the Father. Also, every free day I have is spent driving an hour to my parent’s house because I know the time I get with them now is precious since I won’t see them for a year. I feel like I am due for a reevaluation of my priorities. I’ve been so focused on finishing school and neglecting my spiritual time. I need to be preparing my heart now more than ever for the mission ahead.
This journey so far has been challenging. I’ve had to work at my time management, prepare my heart, humble myself, and keep my focus on His Kingdom. But it has been so amazing how God has provided endless encouragement from the most unexpected places; mainly distant relatives I didn’t even know I had and rekindled friendships from years and years ago, and now all of the wonderful new friends I have made with the outrageously awesome people I will be spending all next year with. I haven’t even met any of them in person yet but I talk to them almost every day and we laugh and encourage each other (but mostly laugh!).
I am learning more and more every day about who I am and who my Father is. Though my time is very preoccupied right now, my heart is in Wild Abandonment for God’s mission and for what is to come.
