So I fly out of LAX in the morning en route to Atlanta and Catalyst Conference! I will be heading strait to Catalyst from the airport, where I will be involved in a two hour meet and great. The next morning I'll be on the stage talking about the WR, my story of redemption, and how they have become one. I have been straying from even thinking about speaking. I have never really spoken infront of any audience and yet I am confident in my God showing up and rocking my world! I have recently said goodbye to my family and started my life long journey. Beginning with 11 countries in 11 months. I'm not gonna lie, its still a little surreal. Everything seems to be happening so fast and all I can do is clutch onto my Jesus, the Rock of my Salvation, as the waves try to fling me from the ride of a lifetime. The theme for Catalyst is "Be Present". A very fitting theme for me and my life. So many new and wild things are happening. So much change and unfamiliar ground. I know that if I don't continually remain present in Christ, the waves will overwhelm me!
O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? 9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. Psalms 89:8-9 (KJV)
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. Psalms 27:14 (KJV)
Waiting on the Lord is a huge part of "Being Present" as well. Life has been moving by so quickly! Because of this, the second it slows down, I can feel a need to do something else rather than be thankful for the time the Lord has given me. Papa's timing is impeccable. He is never late, nor early. I feel like a lot of the time, He just wants me to rest in His presence as I wait to be aligned with His timing and full blessing.
