Really, Peru was a month of walking out all the things God had been calling me to. Also, walking in a new sense of boldness that he has called me to and given me. It was very much when I really began to understand what living in freedom was truly about and what it looked like in my life. Sitting on the side of a mountain overlooking the valley, it also was a month of realizing how much God really Loves me and how perfect that his love really is. He began to show me more things I needed to abandon but I was all in. He continued to take me out of my comfort zone. It was a time of just truly being open to whatever he asked of me and whatever he wanted for me and wanted me to do. It was on that mountain that I again told him that I was open to whatever he asked of me. It was there that I continued to ask him to take me out of my comfort zone…It was then that he began to prepare me for what was to come in the near future…At the end of March our squad got together for 2 days. In that time our current squad leaders announced who would be taking over for them as squad leaders. It was also then that they announced what I knew was also coming … New Teams.
Currently I am in Nicaragua. Everything about being here has seemed so perfect – the weather, the ministry, the people. Yet, at the same time, this month has begun such a new season of my life. I have found myself not only in a new season but with a new team. It has been amazing to watch my new teammates and all their God given gifts put in use. God has really been showing me and reminding me, though, of where my comfort and contentment needs to be. That my contentment and comfort cannot be in a person or in a place or in the work that I am doing. That my contentment and comfort has to be in him and him alone. That as long as I am being dependent on him , being obedient to his voice and finding my contentment in him then he will take care of everything else.
It has taken me a little bit of time to get to this place where I am finally ready to embrace this new season. I am so thankful for this new team who has come along side of me and loved me through this difficult time, but I am now running into this new season with my arms wide open.
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.” Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
I currently am in need of around $1500 as soon as possible to be able to stay on the Race, and a total of around $5,700 to be fully funded for the year. If you would please prayerfully consider partnering with me, it would be so appreciated. God has done so much in me and continues to change me daily, and it’s only month 4. I know he still has so much more for me here. I love doing his work and helping further his kingdom around the world. Thanks again so much for your prayers and support.
