God, why am I on this team? I don’t fit in here. I don’t know them and I don’t trust them. These are a few questions and thoughts that crossed my mind the first week we were here in Ukraine. Satan knew that he had a foothold in my life and he tried very hard to use that. God’s foothold on my life is bigger and stronger than satan will ever be. You see I learned back in Kenya, month one of the race that these thoughts and questions that cross my mind are lies. I learned the truth which is I am on this team for a purpose, I fit in here, these are my brothers and sisters in Christ and choose to trust them. I was able to take what I learned month one of the race and actually apply it to month 9 of the race.
A kiss from God is a beautiful thing. What is a kiss from God? Well, it is something you see that reminds you of Gods truth. For example my kiss from God is a butterfly. Everytime I see a butterfly God reminds me that everything is going to be ok and that he is in control.
I was sitting at the table just finishing my breakfast and Lindsey one of our contacts 3 daughters motioned for me to come here. I thought oh know I am in trouble HaHa! Lindsey holds out her hand and in her hand is a pair of butterfly earings. She told me that she put them in yesterday and as she did God said to her these earings are no longer yours, they belong to Jaime. Lindsey obeyed God and gave them to me along with an encouraging note. Lindsey had no idea that my kisses from God were butterfly’s. She had no idea how hard of a week I had been having. God told Lindsey to give me her butterfly earrings because he knew that I needed a reminder that everything is going to be ok and that he is in control.
The earrings and the note
