Today is the day! The whole squad is here at our gate waiting to take off for our flight to Colombia. If all goes as planned we’re expecting to land in Medellin by midnight tonight. I am so excited! All the goodbyes said, bags purged and nerves dissipated. The peace that has filled me shows the power of prayer. From all the prayers of you guys back home – my family, friends & loved ones – to the prayers of strangers. The shuttle bus driver who took me to the airport or the woman at the hotel attending a conference. Both curious about my backpacks and both equally delighted to learn I was heading out to share the good news.
It looks like wifi will be pretty limited where we’re at in Bogota. I’ll be keeping a journal and update you guys when I can. But lately I’ve felt the need to pray bigger prayers. My God is big and powerful and the things I’ve always asked for were almost putting a limit or cap on how much I thought he could do if that makes sense. So going into this adventure I’ve been praying and asking big things! Which is risky because I could look foolish because some things he gives and some things he doesn’t. Well anyway here goes.
I pray to be uncomfortable. I pray to see you move in ways I’ve never seen and my understanding of who you are to expand. To live the next 11 months a day at a time, one step at a time. Keep my focus on you and to trust in who you are. To not question your character or love no matter the circumstance or situation. Yesterday, today and tomorrow. I ask for humility and obedience. I pray for comfort and safety for my family. For unity and deep love with my team and squad. I pray for more of you.
So those are the desires of my heart for the next 11 months. I might not have gotten the words quite right or left out some altogether but that’s okay. It’s okay because the Holy Spirit knows me and he knows the language of my heart. <3
Hasta Luego,
Bre
