Last week was spent under the Cambodian sun surrounded by lily pads with my whole squad and three other squads. All at different months of the race. It was special. I met some awesome gals and am so thankful to have received their perspective and wisdom before going into month five.
Awaken was three days of worship, sessions and intimacy with the Lord. The goal of the conference was to bring squads together who are in the same country to grow learn and love.
I can still feel the warmth of the nights worshiping on the rooftop with lightening in the distance. God’s presence was with us, and so many of us were renewed and lifted high, awaken and changed.
We had the pleasure of getting to listen to my squad’s Mentor/Boss man, Gary Black, founder of G42 in Spain, speak. He brought the Holy Spirit and touched many of our lives, so much that he ended up baptizing 20 of us. It was beautiful.
Awaken was a perfect time of fellowship before our month four debrief that consisted of team changes and new leadership (which I’ll announce to you on the next blog!)
Honestly, I really didn’t know what the World Race would look like. I knew I’d grow and change and get to know God more. All of those things are happening but all more intensely than I ever imagined. Confidence and passions are growing inside of my soul and my love for Jesus and need for intimacy is what gets me up every morning.
The Lord continues to push me and is knocking down my barriers, I’ve had up for way too long. I’m in awe of Him and beginning to love who He created me to be.
I don’t want to just skim the top of my well anymore. I want to go deeper into the wellspring of life which is inside everyone who believes.
talking and listening to peoples story, worshiping, hearing from the Lord, and new revelations of who God is, awaken my soul. It gives me life and gets me going.
May each season and year on this earth bring you fresh revelation and may you find the Lord awakening your soul while you search for meaning and passion. Life is so much more fun when you let God do His thing in your life.
Two days into Thailand with my NEW TEAM, and I can’t wait for what this month holds. Also can’t wait to announce to y’all my new team and my love for Thailand.
What awakens your soul? How has the Lord brought light into your life recently? the bible and community is always a place to start when you feel dry and empty.
Be yourself, love people well, and be open to grow.
