Hey Everyone!
[Hopefully I find a better way to get the opening to a blog going :)]
I have been asking God to guide me in a direction to write something new and hopefully to update on what God has been showing me. Always His timing and never my own right?
I had been sitting at the bottom of this mountain looking up and I have been doing that for a couple of weeks. This mountain consist of the overwhelming financial tag for this next year, it has worries for family members while I would be away, it has hopes for the family God is giving me while on this trip, it has the unknown for the growth that I hope for before I leave, and I could go on and on but I don’t want to make that mountain bigger…
I have already been able to facebook meet some of my new family members and that has been the coolest thing! I am already praying for them and eagerly reading the blogs. I am excited that I will also get to see their growth in this next year. I get a pretty good seat in someones life to watch God move in someone that He will use to grow me.
I actually got to go to a local church service with a new (new to me) brother in Christ that will be on this race with me. We went to his local church and had fellowship before service, worshiped, and took notes during service together. It was the worship part of the night that I got a glimpse of what God was doing.
He has shown me that at the bottom of this mountain, I am not there alone. (Yes, He is always with me) He showed me I have brothers and sister in Christ looking up at the same mountain I am. The sense of community and togetherness I already have been given just with this one brother has my heart overflowing with love and excitement for the rest of the family God will be giving me and letting me be apart of.
