I'm pretty positive I had a quarter life crisis a while back. I had no idea what the heck was going on. I was dazed, confused, angry. I knew God- we met at church on Sundays- but I didn't get what the fuss was about.

Some guy once told me if we love Jesus, we're destined for greatness. So why the detours to nowhere? Perhaps it's because we haven't been trained in royalty. Perhaps we don't realize we're princes and princesses of the King. Perhaps we think like paupers and we all know paupers don't amount to anything. But royalty does…After reading Kris Vallotton's Supernatural Ways to Royalty– living life will never be the same. He's legit.

I need a sign on my head that says, "Training for Reigning". (I rarely recommend books, but SWR is awesome)

Samuel called out Saul's greatness in that book, the Bible. Kris V wrote, "Saul's call had been hidden under low self esteem and a wrong perception of the circumstances in his life. His response to Samuel shows that he had not been raised as royalty, nor taught his true worth. He wasn't changed into a different man, he was transformed back into the man he was created to be in the first place. The real Saul got lost in the mire of sin and insignificance."

Hey Saul, totally get where you're coming from, dude…The other day I was hunkered down in my fort, walls up, war paint on, water pistol cocked, ready for battle. I camped out for a few days but then it got stuffy, so I came up for air. When I did, Jesus revealed stuff that messed me up in a totally awesome way.

We're called to greatness and it starts with claiming who we are in our Big Bro. God's love shines brightest in our sickest areas. He takes brokenness and restores it- making it more beautiful and stronger than ever. When I stopped hiding in my self-made prison, I realized my focus hadn't totally been about loving Him or loving His kids for that matter…God's bigger than me so He pulled me back on the road and we kept moving.

Traveling life with God is cool. He's pretty chill. We hang out and talk or just sit and enjoy each other. Somedays our convos go like this:

God: You live for Me. Trust Me. I love you. So rest in me.
Me: But God, I….
God: Shh, Trust ME, k?
Me: K
 
In Cambodia, America or wherever, He hears us, sees us, loves us.
 
I don't know what I'll feel when I see a loveless world that doesnt revolve around me, my problems, my my my. Perhaps I won't say anything. Perhaps I'll cry. Perhaps my walls will fall like Jerhico. But as I continue to learn who I am, I'd say I'll trust Him and rest in His truths. I'd say I'll cling to the fact that I'm a daughter and a princess in God's royal court. And I'd say, on days when I forget that truth, He's gonna remind me. That's the thing about God- His ways are perfect. His timing, immpecable. His will, incredible.

He sends people into our lives to call out our greatness. They help break down our walls and deepen our faith. I'm grateful for the royalty He's put in my life- the game changers that taught through example. It's an honor to know you.
