1)Therfore, since we are surronded by so great a cloud of witness, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set befor us, 2) looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. 3) Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary fainthearted. (Hebrews 12:1-3)
My life on the race has been great!!! I wouldn´t trade of leaving everything behind for this amazing journey. I´m only two months in and the Lord has shown me so much in my life. I know most of you see all of the happy pictures and beautiful places that I have visited so far, but man there has been some tough times too. There has been some great and awesome times also. God has been bringing up old stuff in my life that I have completely forgot about. I want to tell you, that being cleansed isn´t an easy process, but it is a good and necessary process. I know that He wants me to lay aside every weight to be free. He wants me to walk in freedom. He wants me to know Him on such a more intimate level.
I started this race four years ago. When I started I had no idea what I was getting in to. I had no idea the transitions of life God was going to take me through. First, my view of God was shallow and I had no idea how much bigger that God was. I knew that I should be made new, but I had no idea what that really look like. My life has been a roller coaster ride. The only thing that have kept me is that I have always kept my eyes on Jesus. I knew from the day I started that I was in it for the long haul. I know that He is making me new and I´m loving every minute of it. I must continue to run the race that is set before me with all endurance.
