This is day 6 of training camp for the World Race.
I have been broken down, built up, felt uncomfortable, been confused, understood, been very very cold, seen God work in people, felt God work in myself, met many amazingly wonderful people that I will travel the world with and been completely content in where God has me. This rollercoaster of a week, most people will say, has changed so many things about me. But, I will say that I haven’t changed, only the way I see my world now, my eyes have been opened.
Last night we had a night of prophecy or I like to refer to it as a night of encouragement through Christ. It’s so crazy to stand in a group of 7 people with everybody’s hands on my shoulders and to hear words of life spoken over me. No….this isn’t some weird telling of futures or anything like that, it’s simply hearing what people see in me. It’s a bit of humble pie to (admit it, everybody at some point has low self-image) think of youself as average or ordinary, and then to have 6 Godly people stand around and tell you how great you are and how much they see happening through you next year. WOW! I think that even better, was to be able to tell other people what I see in them, without all of the awkwardness and everything 🙂
It has been a whirlwind of emotions for me this week, but God knows the plans that He has for us…for me. It’s exciting to give up everything to God and to slowly see how He can build your life to something that you couldn’t even ever dream of building yourself. Why would you try to build the Taj Mahal when you are a machanic? It just doesn’t make sense. Same with me, it didn’t make sense for me to try to make myself look good (inside and out) when God can make me radiant…we are radiant.
peace.
