This week at training has been very overwhelming for me in many ways. Until last night, the majority of thoughts going through my head have been whether or not I could actually do this, physically, mentally, and sometimes spiritually. We have been given so much information and my head is having a hard time processing it all, which is quite unusual for me. I am a very present-minded person and have a hard time thinking in the future and what things will be like. Last night we met our team coaches, Gary and Lisa Black and it was an intense night of worship, grief, joy, and the Holy Spirit encountering some for the first time. As I was praying, the song You Said by Shane and Shane was playing and I began to just ask God for the nations we would be traveling. I prayed for each individually, asking for each country by name and for the people we would encounter. I asked God to break my heart for the things which break His in each of those nations and began to see people and places in my mind for which to mourn and be sorrowful. After a while of grieving and seeing into God’s heart I felt such peace and contentment. I was more excited than ever to go on this journey and put all of our prepartion and prayer into action. God is moving so mightily in this ministry and I cannot wait to be a part of it in the nations He’s promised us. This will without a doubt be the hardest thing I’ve done thus far in my life, but I am more than ready to be broken and used by God to fulfill His promises and love His children all over the world. I am tired of complacency and settling for less than God’s will for my life and the World Race is definitely the solution to this problem!
Blessings!
