I bought my plane ticket home a few days ago. I’ll welcome America back into my life on May 20th! It’s starting to feel real that this journey is winding up, and the next one is right around the corner.
I’ve been thinking a lot about what Abba has done in me on this trip, what I want to see in the next two months, and how to keep walking in what’s been given to me once I get home. At the beginning of this month I was all over the place when I thought about coming home, but Abba has done some really ridiculous things in my heart here, and despite all of the uncertainty that surrounds leaving, I feel joyful about whatever is next for me and Him. That’s a miracle.
On the same note, I’d love your prayers for me as I transition back to the States, for grace to keep my eyes fixed on Abba, for discernment and wisdom in following His lead.
I’ve been thinking about this lately and want to speak it out loud. Last month a group of us had just gotten back from ministry on bar street in Chiang Mai. We were sitting in a little room downstairs talking about our nights, I noted the feeling of the room was somewhat off. The next afternoon a friend and I were down in the same room and I noticed how the feeling in the room was so much different than the night before. I got to thinking about how with what we carry around in our hearts we impact the atmosphere around us. We can bring Abba’s peace, joy and gentleness into a room, or we can carry around things not of Him; jealousy, bitterness, anger, etc. We get to be co-creators with Daddy in something as significant as the atmosphere around us, the vibe of a room. Everyone gets to take part in creation and redemption. We can create and atmosphere where the Holy Spirit is welcome, where the Father is seen, or we can further amplify the things of this world with what’s in our hearts.
I want this dwelling place I’ve been given in this life to be a place where Abba is welcome, where He is seen, where the River of Life is flowing so violently that it splashes out on the people around me, I want to see Kingdom happening all over the place. That gets me excited about coming home.
We’re headed to El Salvador on Saturday. I’d love your prayers for us as we travel. Month 10 here we come!
ALSO: I’m done support raising!! THANK YOU so much to all of my supporters! I feel like thank you doesn’t cover it. Your support means a lot to me and has been a testimony of Abba’s faithfulness. Thank. you.
