One of my best friends had a huge truly life changing even happen about a year ago. That event was him re-committing his life to God. Since then he doesn’t even look like the same person. He is overwhelmed with joy and love for life and people.
Since this he has been on his holy spirit journey he has one big dream for himself and others. He is always speaking about Romans 12:2. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Because of my bold friend whom I can see the renewing of his mind happening at this moment. I can see it taking place in my life and the life of everyone around us. Him simply speaking the will of God without same and has passion has effected everyone and changed my life.
Time for the truth… When I signed up for The World Race I was in a place of “blah”. I, like many followed Christ out of tradition, religious thinking, law, and gilt or shame. This Last week has been a week of growth for me. Exponential growth to be clear. God knows my desires and obviously knows what my next step is better then I do. He is preparing my heart and that gives me joy. He has become my reason for waking in the morning, full of joy and life with worship on my lips. Literally! This last week at church. Not the church I normally go to (its over and hour away) The Holy Spirit touched me in a way I haven’t been touched before. I was instantly filled with Joy and desire. I began to dance like never before. it was freeing!
I went to the front for prayer and a man named Kyle caught my eye. I went to him and he began to prophesy over me some deep personal things. They were a confirmation that i was on the right path. This week will continue to grow me and stretch me.
Thank you for reading and for your prayers

I wanted to add one last thing. This is such a time of growth for me and has drawn me so close to God that I am totally okay if I dont get to go. I know God has something bigger and at a better time. I am over joyed about his presence in my life.
