This season of my life has been by far one of the hardest, scary, and even lonely at times. In all honesty I am very exhausted and broken. There is a verse in Hosea that has been very prevalent in my life.
Hosea 6:1 says “Come let us return to the Lord; for He has torn us, that He may heal us; He has struck us down, and He will bind us up.
This verse has summed up my year. I have been doing student ministry at a local church here in New Mexico and it has been tough and I have been unable to really to be me or do ministry how God called me to do it. Although I did not know it at the time but God was breaking me for a reason. I believe I am way better at being obedient than trusting the Lord sometimes. If God told me to go here and do this specific thing, I would do it, but God has just told me “go”. But nothing in specific of where to go and how to go, just “go”. Which has lead me to go and apply for the World Race and get accepted.
It’s kinda like Moses vs. Joshua. Moses was able to see the path ahead of him, while God split the Red Sea, sure it was scary still but he could still see the path. When Joshua is leading the people across the Jordan River, God tells him to have the priests that are carrying the ark of the covenant put their feet into the water first and then it will be opened up (Joshua 3). The Lord has told me to put my feet in first and then he will open it up. Friends, I tell you it is scary. Stepping out of the comfortable into the uncomfortable.
I am stepping into the uncomfortable with going on the World Race. I am trusting that He will provide, asking the Lord to overcome my unbelief and my doubts. So please be in prayer with me and I ask that you would put your feet in first and trust that God is going to open the path for you as well in whatever place you are in right now. If it has been put on your heart to give, I would truly appreciate it. Much Love FAM!
