Going from Germany to Guatemala is like stepping out of a refrigerator and walking into a sauna. The heat is turned up by 50%, or so it feels like it. Our first day in Puerto Barrios, we spent most of our first day outside. It was not so sunny because it is the rainy season and the clouds were out. When I got back to the house around one, Team Fuse took one look at me and said you are burnt! I thought, there is no way…but I looked in the mirror and my neck was red! How did I get burned when the sun was not even out. How does that happen?
That’s what I feel like Satan has been trying to do to my heart. I walk into this furnace called the World Race and he burns my heart without me even realizing it. He tries to get me so focused on myself that I am not even in a position to hear God and listen for His voice. This then burns my heart and leads me to destruction. How does that happen?
He attempts to fill my head with lies like I am not good enough or pretty enough. He spends his time telling me that I have to become like my teammates and tempts me to compare myself to them. He does everything he can to get my focus away from the Lord and onto myself. There is a battle going on inside to serve God or serve Satan. I serve Satan by believing the lies that he tells me and walking in them. I can choose to serve God by confessing those lies and choosing t believe the truth. Who Jesus says I am and walking in the truth. Today I choose to believe the truth! In this moment I choose to believe Jesus when he says that I am the daughter of a king and a child of God! What will you choose?
