The last day of 2019 has me reflecting on everything I’ve learned this year. As many of you know from a previous blog, my word for 2019 was intentional and it’s been quite a journey of figuring out what meaning it held and how I could apply it to my life in this season. I thought it was something I was supposed to do, the way I was supposed to live, but when it didn’t end up looking the way I wanted it to, I was confused, I got discouraged and kind of gave up on it. Then I started the world race. I was hungry for healing and growth. I started seeking the Lord in everything. And in everything he was teaching me how intentional HE IS. That’s when it clicked. I thought it was something that I was going to have to do by myself but I never stopped to even consider that it was something he wanted me to learn about his own character. I’ve seen how intentional he is in the way he hand picked my team, and in the places he’s put us. He’s shown me how relentlessly and consistently he has pursued me and how intentional he is in bringing me back to himself. No matter how far gone I was, he met me where I was at and showed me the way back. The Lord has had me hear part of another team’s team time, to speak directly into something I was journaling about and struggling with at the time. He has given numerous people words for me when I felt like I couldn’t hear him. When I was struggling with a relationship on my team, He has spoken to my teammate about the same thing and has continually spoken into this friendship. He brought me back to my love of art and has used it for His glory. These are just some examples of how intentional the Lord has been this year and in these first four months of the race. I’m excited to see the way He continually shows me how intentional he is. I’ve been praying about the word the Lord wants to teach me about and show me in 2020 and the Lord gave me, ‘passion’. So I’m ready and excited for what He has in store for me in this next year of life.
All my love,
E 🙂
