I haven't blogged in a little over a month. At first I thought that was because I didn't have anything to say but lets face it I always have something to say. This past month was full on endings. I left my job at Bank of America packed up my apartment, sold all of my furniture and am shuffling between my parents houses. I spent a week staying with my Dad in California during my last week of work then packed up almost everything and put it on a plane to parents house in Missouri where it will be stored until I get back this time next year. After a few days in Missouri I got in the car and drove to Oklahoma City where I spent some of my favorite years going to college and then working and visited one of my closest friends. During this weekend I was reminded that there are people that will always be in your life even when visits are few and far between and some people who you are meant to know for a season.
I'm staying here in Missouri for a few more weeks; and the reality that has hit me is that when I get back to California I will have a mear 3 weeks left before leaving for Washington D.C. I'm so excited for Launch and for this next chapter in my life, however, the closer it gets the more aware I become of the lasts. The last time I will see someone or do somthing for a year. The closer I get to the Launch the more nervous and unsure I become, ; I am well aware of the fact that is an attack from the enemy that God has called me to this time and place. God is Faithful. He has patiently waited for me to come back to Him and has called me to The World Race.
"For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me. “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing?When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’" (Matthew 25:35-40)
The other night I was reminded of this verse….this is the reason God called me to the race…this is the reason I am doing this.
