I’m being serious, people.
It’s been 11 days and the estimated 30 chigger bites are still itchy, red & swollen.
(I tried the nail polish and hairspray… THEY DO NOT WORK.)

“There is a sobriety coming over this generation.
The way we speak, the way we think about how church should be.”
 
This was spoken over us as we worshipped on the very first night
and it was exactly what I needed to hear.
I knew immediately that I wasn’t there to be equipped to be a better missionary.
I was a daughter who needed to be loved on and spoken to by her Father.

 

I signed up for this trip because I want more. I’m tired of “church”. I’m tired of hearing about battles for behavior when Jesus wants us to battle for hearts. I’m ready to see His power in new, real ways.
I made a declaration that I will abandon, break, and depend to live out the whisper.
I knew I was exactly where I needed to be and I wasn’t the only one.
God knew what we all needed.

 

Some needed love.
He loved on His children.

Some needed faith.
They showed up with mustard seed and He moved the mountains.

Some needed healing.
We witness healing. God still heals.

Some needed confirmation.
His voice was loud and clear.
 

 
I am learning more about the Lord every day.
Who He is and who I am in Him.
I am ready for this journey.
I am ready to do life with my new family.
I am ready for a new kind of community.
 

Meet the wonderful group of people I will be doing life with: Team Mates
(Yes, Our name is Mates so people will have to say teammates…)

I’m the only southern one so if I get to chat
with you while I’m gone please use as much
southern twang as possible.
Talk about Chick-fil-a, sweet tea, Eric Church…
I’m REALLY going to be out of my comfort zone! 🙂
