Finding my place & voice from GOD…In the beginning of the World Race, I thought I had a lot to offer, especially in the role of a leader. Even though, I thought I would have been picked as a team leader to oversee & lead a team, I really didn’t want to be one because I didn’t want to miss out on the total experiences throughout the Race. Looking back now… 10 months later, GOD didn’t call me to be a team leader, but HE did call me to be a silent leader. One who would model & exemplify, w/out necessarily speaking through words, but through my actions. GOD revealed to me that this was my primary role on this Race. Being a leader doesn’t necessarily mean being up front giving orders, commands or directions, but one that is leading through his actions. And as the saying goes…”Actions speak louder than words.” This has been the case for me and how GOD has truly allowed me to find my voice in order to raise me up as a true leader for HIM and to advance & build HIS Kingdom.
Finding my Definition from GOD…Probably the most pivotal thing that GOD showed me this month from my past is about my identity in HIM. Since I became a Christian, I have been taught what it looks like to be a Christian, but not what it looks like to truly live like a Christian. And I think I contribute this to trying to find my identity as a Christian in what I did (performance based) & what others would say or think about me instead of what or who GOD says about me in HIS Word (Bible). This is huge… I can’t believe I have been a Christian for fourteen years now and GOD is just revealing this to me! This is just another part of me that GOD is stripping away so I can truly be redefined only by HIM in order to become more like HIM.
Walking with GOD…Below is a picture of a road that GOD and I would walk together and talk in the evenings. This is where I enjoyed sharing with HIM & HIM with me about the things He taught me this month.
When is the last time you went on a walk to talk to/with GOD?
