Looking back on the past 10 months of my life…I stand amazed at what God has done in me, around me, and through me. If you had asked me a few years ago if I thought I would have travelled the world with 40 strangers all for the purpose of God’s Kingdom, I would have laughed and thought “yeah I’d love to do that,” but never really thinking it could happen.
But when God gets a hold of your heart and He just won’t let you sleep…He won’t let your mind be free of this “thing.”
For me this thing was the race. And now here I am writing in tears as I think of what would have happened if I hadn’t said ‘YES.’ If I’d decided it’d just be easier to stay at home. I look at the past 10 months of my life–the highs, the lows, the love I’ve grown for my Father and the way He has shown more of Himself to me. And while the race has not been what I thought in many ways it has been so much more than any expectation I could have ever had!
What I am saying is that I’ve decided no matter what the “thing” is that God has placed on my heart…the thing that consumes my thoughts, that makes me not be able to sleep at night, because there is this itch…this indescribable feeling in my heart to just go or to just do– whatever it is–I just want to say YES!
And I don’t want to just say yes I want to shout it! I want to shout YES to the God who can do far more than anything we could ever ask or think.
So whatever it is for you…whatever it is that seems so crazy, so bizarre, so irrational, so uncomfortable just say YES.
Say Yes to a Father who knows far more than we will ever know, who loves far more than we ever could, and who gives far more than we will ever fully understand.
I promise if you just say yes He will change your life and you will be used by Him and for His Kingdom. I am excited to see what this next “thing” will be in my life and what it will be for you! The whisper in your heart, the thought that you just cannot get rid of it…just say YES!
Thank you all for the love and support you’ve shown in the past 10 months! I am so excited to see the Lord move in month 11 and know there are even bigger and better things to come after this journey!
