Honestly, I’m very tired. It’s been 9 and a 1/2 months and I’m missing home. We’ve been doing different types of ministry. Some of it we were made for and some of it we weren’t made for. God created each one of us to do something. He created each of us for a calling or purpose. When you find that out, doing that thing gives you energy and you feel alive while doing it. When you’re not doing that, you get exhausted and worn out. I have found what God created me to do. I have figured out my main spiritual gift and how to use it. That month in Romania made me feel so alive and I’ve been struggling to get that feeling ever since. I still love my life and what I’m doing but when I compare it to doing what God created me to do, it doesn’t measure up. I can’t wait to get home and spend some time with my family and then move to Romania!
I want to encourage you again to figure out your spiritual gifts and your purpose. If you don’t know, ask God. You can even ask other people close to you what they see in you and also take a spiritual gifts test. It’s worth seeking it out. Make the time. It’s so beautiful to see the body of Christ working together for God’s kingdom. We are all different and have different gifts and talents but when you put us together, it’s powerful. There’s no point in comparing ourselves and our gifts to others because God created each of us differently. He didn’t create us to all be the same.
This journey is coming to an end and I can’t believe it. It’s been incredible and life-changing. I am so thankful for all the experiences I had. Please continue to pray for me to stay present and not to just go through the motions. I want to experience and learn all that God has planned for me and I can’t do that if I am not present. But it’s been a struggle this month so please pray that God would give me a new perspective and strength to endure. I find myself tired a lot.
Last week I went to the doctor because I’ve been coughing for a few weeks and he prescribed some cough syrup. I took it and am doing better but still cough every once in a while. Please pray that it completely goes away.
I’m so thankful for this beautiful group of girls and that I get to finish the Race with them.
