Hi guys! I hope you are doing well! I sure miss you a whole lot! Can you even believe it, I am entering my final week of month one of the race! That is so crazy to me. Not gonna lie, so far the race has been pretty difficult for me. As I’ve said before, Romania is a very dark country and trying to share the light of Jesus here is hard.
But yesterday God reminded me of His promises to me! My squad was having a time of worship during our lunch break and we were assigned a specific person to pray for and to ask the Lord if He had anything He wanted to tell that person. My friend Gel (the funniest girl you will ever meet) got my name to pray over, and the Lord gave her such a sweet reminder to tell me. Here is what she told me, “Jeremiah 29:12-14 // You probably already know verse 11, but I encourage you to look for your Father. You will find Him if you do your part to pursue Him. He wants to be found by you. Keep your heart, eyes and ears open. He is looking for a home in your heart. He is always moving and speaking, go find Him. He can’t wait to see you!”
Jeremiah 29: 12-14, “Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.”
Wowza, this encouragement was so so needed and straight from the Father. While I have been struggling here to find the Lord, He promises me that when I continue to seek Him, I will find Him! When I cry out to Him, He does hear me!
What a sweet sweet reminder to hear during a time of relentless searching for the Lord. What a good good God He is. How beautiful is it that He is so mighty and has authority over all of the earth, yet at the same exact moment He is so intimately personal that he hears you and me.
As my sister Malia and her friend Kayla have been reminding me of lately, God is with me. How beautiful is that. Sissy and Kayla, thank you for that Truth.
Thank you all so much for your continued prayers, I appreciate them more than I can explain! I am praying for you every single day and I am confident that the Lord is working in and through you in the most amazing ways! I love you and I miss you!
