As I’m about to embark on the world race and leave everything I know for 11 months, my mind is riddled with thoughts and my heart with an array of emotions. One of the biggest battles has been fear, a familiar foe. But another bittersweet emotion is nostalgia. I never realized how much I take for granted the people God has placed in my life. I’ve been blinded by insecurities that scream… But underneath the chaos, like the still water underneath the crashing waves, is the gentle whisper of my Father speaking truth. Deep cries out to deep: “What’s more, I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.” Genesis 28:15
My land is changing. The faces I see everyday will not be the same. But one day God will bring me back here, after delivering and doing all He has planned. So with a joyful and hopeful heart in the midst of the fear, I embark out to the nations. Thank you God for going before me and protecting me. I will follow You to the ends of the Earth. And thank you, all of you who have believed in me and encouraged me and been part of the weaving of the tapestry that I am today. My heart is full of gratitude and I bless you for your part in my journey. God placed you into my life for a reason and I am forever grateful.
