It's been so great 'bringing you along with me' 🙂
Right now, I am boarding a plane to head to Entebbe, Uganda – where I will begin the last leg of the World Race. This is the final continent, the doozie we've all been waiting for, the great unknown….AFRICA.
Keep me in your prayers – God is already beginning to take me into a season of 'brokenness.'
And if I'm being honest, I don't really want to feel any of this. Feeling broken is no fun.
But I know that believing and persevering and keeping the faith through the hard stuff strengthens your faith. In trusting God no matter the circumstances, no matter the misundertanding, no matter the confusion or heartbreak… in believing God IS good – no matter what we see in this world…in believing He will use ALL things for our ultimate good… through activating THAT kind of crazy, radical, illogical, faith– we grow. And He is glorified. His strength is made perfect in our weakness.
It's like the last line of my favorite poem, Footprints:
"My Precious, precious child. I love you and I would never leave you.
During those times of trial and suffering,
when you only saw one set of footprints in the sand,
it was then that I carried you"
I believe all this. I do. But brokenness is still no fun while you are in it. So please pray that I allow my heart to continue to break for the things that break His heart and allow Him to rebuild my heart the best way possible: like His. 🙂
Love you!
