Life moves really fast in the States, I forgot how fast. The day after I got back, I got in my car and was taken aback by how fast everyone drives everywhere. What’s the big rush?! But then, here I am 4 weeks later, wondering what the hold up is when I’m stuck behind someone that’s driving like they are out for an afternoon ride.
So, what is next for me?
The Lord has given me bits and pieces, which is all good. Because, I’m realizing that knowing the whole picture isn’t as much fun. The bits and pieces are this: the Lord has lead me to move to Colorado, I will be working on an online business selling products from different ministries around the world, and I will be helping to lead a group of teens on a missions trip to the Dominican Republic in July. So basically now that I have unpacked my bags, done some laundry, had some welcome back festivities…its time again to repack and go.
The thing with Colorado is this: I’ve never been there. I can count the number of people I know out there on less than one hand. But there is something about the unknown with Jesus that is unlike anything else. I feel more alive than I have ever. And people ask, “aren’t you scared?”, and I’m not. For some odd and bizarre reason, there is such peace, joy, and love in this next step. The crazy part is that usually I am preparing for the worst, not trying to get my hopes up, so I won’t get disappointed. That way if its really great, then its kind of a pleasant surprise, but if it sucks, then I’ll be prepared. You know the whole self- defense mechanism game that people play. But for the first time in my life, its just pure, unabashed excitement. Let’s go Jesus…TO THE ROCKIES!!!!
Also, in the next month, I am going to be working with two former racers to get this crazy dream that God has given us for an online business off the ground. In our travels, we came across some phenomenal minstries that reach out to the poor, the prostitutes, the homeless, the imprisoned, the sick, the list goes on. These different ministries also have business to help support and provide the artists and artisans with an income. So the three of us were personally given this fire, this hunger, this desire from the Lord to be used by Him to bring the Kingdown to earth to His people in this way. If you are interested in finding out more and becoming involved with us please contact me.
And finally, in July, I have been given the awesome opportunity to serve in the Dominican Republic with a youth team that I’ll help to lead. Which is particularly exciting, because it was there that I asked the Lord to call me out of a life of comfort, complacency, and faithlessness. I’m looking forward to our time there with the beautiful Domincans! If you want to partner with and support me, please contact me.
