These past few weeks have been so
amazing!! I honestly don’t know how to express what I feel. I feel
that God has been working on me for so long and I am finally making
the changes in my life that He has been asking of me. Since training
camp where God spoke to me and changed my heart I feel like I have
become a new person. I know that God is in control and while I used
to worry about things and think that I could do it on my own, now I
feel a sense of peace that can only come from God.
That being said, today after church I
was hanging out with friends and really realizing that soon I won’t
see them every Sunday. I am going to miss them like crazy!! I am
incredibly blessed by my family, my friends and my church family at
Mountaintop. They all have been so giving and so supportive. God
has used these people to get me where I am now. Which is closer and
closer to Him. I know that there are tough times and I have been
through some those times. Right now getting ready for the world race,
trying to get my car sold and condo rented or sold, has definitely
been stressful. While I am still not sure how all that is going to
work out, I know that it will because beyond a shadow of doubt I know
that I am doing what God has called me to and that’s all I want to
do.
Today after lunch I left my friends but
didn’t feel like going home so I drove around town in my car, which
is convertible and it’s a beautiful day, listening to worship music.
The whole time just thinking how much I am going to miss everyone and
everything here. I have lived here in Birmingham,AL my whole life
and have never been away from my family for over 6 weeks. While
driving I just felt an overwhelming sense of joy and I know this is
what God wants. There are people around the world who me and my
squad are going to get to show Gods love to and share the gospel with
and then we will get to come home and share the amazing stories of
how God moved. Which is the whole point!! To bring glory to HIS
name by sharing the things HE has done for us and through us. I am
finished trying on my own to store up treasure in this life and want
to focus on God and the eternity that He has for me.
So…I am so excited and can’t wait to
get rid of everything I have and completely rely on HIM!!!!!
