Today an amazing  friend of mine asked me a question that I thought should have come with an easy answer..

The question was…

“What do you feel like the  Lord has really been teaching you on this trip?”

I know… Easy question, right?  Wrong… 

Has the Lord been been teaching me things?  Absolutely

 
When answering Jen’s question I found myself fumbling for the words to try to explain what the Lord had been teaching me while on The Race…  I answered the question as best as I could… But later in the day I find myself still pondering on that one question and I have come to this… 

 

He is teaching me….

– To be Obedient

– To be comfortable in the uncomfortable

– What it means to truly be His Disciple

– What a Woman of God should look like

– How to submit to authority

– It’s not about me.. It’s ALL about Him

– That there is way more to the world than just Tx

– It is ok to love the new sisters He has given me.. It doesn’t mean I have to get rid of my other ones.. They have just muliplied : )

– When following Him.. Change Happens, But it’s ALWAYS for the best

– Things I thought were “OK”, Are not and things I didn’t think were “OK”, Are

– That when you give Him total control over your life, You are giving up your free will

– It is perfectly normal to feel homesick and be in Gods Will at the same time

– That I am not who I thought I was…

 
When asked the question… I couldn’t find the words, but not because there weren’t storys.. Only because there are really no words to explain…
 

This is only a brief summary of what the Lord has been teaching me over the past 4 months..  I have been on an overload of teachings from Him this year in so many shapes and sizes… If I tried explaining I might end up sounding like I have lost my mind.. : )  But after all..  Isn’t that the goal?  To lose our mind and to gain the mind of Christ?
 

I believe the Lord pulled me away from home so that He could totally romance me the way that He desires, and to make me fall even more in love with Him and in that He will begin to reveal to me everything He has taught me.. Even those I did not realize were lessons at the time..

So in November when I arrive home, AFTER I have time to process… Im sure I will have a spiral notebook full of things I learned on The World Race.. But as for right now, I am ok not knowing everything He is trying to teach me..  Even though it is a very important part in our walk with the Lord, I feel like sometimes we get to caught up in always trying to figure out what He is wanting to teach us.. When sometimes He just simply wants to romance us and spill His love over us…
