This time last year I was in my second month of The World Race, just over a year later, I am days away from ending my second month in Adventures discipleship program (Center for Global Action). When looking over journal entries from last year I see so many things that I am still walking out, things that I am pleased I still carry and lessons I know I am still in process with.
“Last night we boarded a midnight train to return to Moldova’s capital. We returned to the city to meet up with U-squad as they start
their final month on the race. I can’t begin to imagine the mixed feelings I
will have going into month 11. I can’t imagine the emotions of going home and leaving what I will have started to
call home/normal.
What I will call LIVING?
What I will call COMMUNITY?
What I will
call LOVE?
How do you just stop all that happens out here?
How do you just walk away from that?
How
do you return to “normal” life?
But, how long can you keep up this nomadic lifestyle?
Never slowing down and never stopping, but always living… how long can that last?
It seems silly to say when living for God because He can do anything. So yeah, probably not something that I need to worry about now, what is the point? It is up to Him what He will have me do with
my life, but it is also up to me to step out in whatever He has for me.
Oh Papa, I know You have the interest of my heart in your
hands. I know that it is Yours to protect. I know it is silly to say that I
worry about my future. You created all this. You created me. You have more
amazing things planned for me than I could ever imagine. I praise you, I
praise you for the fact that Your plans are so much greater than anything I
could try and expect of my life.
I pray for peace on my heart as that comes to set in deeper.
I pray that You would take me deeper
I pray that You would show me Your power
I pray that I would be slain by the Spirit
I want affirmation, Daddy I crave it.
I know this is a season of seeking you, praising you and rejoicing in the moments I am growing in you. The moments You
continue to shed off my past self. The person who was corrupt by the world,
that satan had dug his talons into. Daddy, thank you for winning that battle. I know the battle over me is one I will never see the end of, but I know that You have won and see me as whole.
Your angels are my protection.
Your love is my weapon.
Your peace is my comfort.
Your heart is my guide.
Your spirit is with me always.
Your son is my salvation.
I am made new in you and I can’t begin to praise you enough
for the change you have and are making in me. Praise you father! Thank You
Father!
Thank you for this time in fellowship!
Thank you for my squad!
Thank you for the hearts of U-squad
Thank you for the ways you are building and growing me!
Thank you for the weather today!
Thank you for meeting and exceeding our needs today!
Thank you for Crystal!I pray for her ankle, I pray that You
would give her peace and thank You for the healing you have already begun. You are mighty and wonderful. You are strong and compassionate!
Thank you for
all the ways You bless me, for all the ways you exceed the limited possibilities of what I can imagine.”
I encourage you to take a moment and think back to the last big transition that you’ve had:
What has God brought you through ?
What are you still working on/walking through?
What are positive traits that you demonstrated through it and do you still demonstrate those traits today?
Were there any ways of operating or thought patterns that were unhealthy, are you still walking in them?
