“It’s Extravagant. It doesn’t make sense. We’ll never comprehend, the way You love us! It’s unthinkable, only Heaven knows just how far You’ll go to say you love us!”
Month 6! That’s hard to come to grips with. I am in month 6 of my race. I have had five months of fun, laughter, tears and growth! Five long, hard, beautiful months. Five months of discovering who I am in the Lord. Five months of discovering the true depth of God’s love for me.
Never in my wildest dreams did I believe that I would be hand picked by the Lord to travel to 11 different countries, sharing not only the love of Jesus, but also learning how much He loves me.
I am not a second thought to God. I am not something He did with His down time. I am not something He did, because He couldn’t make someone better. I am Chosen. I am LOVED. I am His first thought, I am an heir to His thrown.
Growing in my relationship with Him, feeling the love from my Father, that has been my greatest take away from the race so far. Choosing to be obedient to His will and His calling may be hard, but it is worth it.
I know God is calling me into a deeper season of growth with Him. A season of stepping out and stepping up. It’s hard. But I know I have to do it, because I know He has something better for me.
5 months ago, I was preparing to leave on this journey of spending 11 months helping others. And here I am, soaking in the growth that has happened in my own relationships.
I would like to take this time to ask all of you to pray for me. Pray that I continue to grow. That I continue to dive into the deep parts, that I push into what God puts before me. Pray that I say Yes to the path He has for me, and that I finish out the second half of this race, stronger than I started the first half. Pray that I grow with my new team and that we are focused on the plan from the Most High God. Pray that I seek Jesus in the hard times, and celebrate with Him in the good. Pray that I learn more about His extravagant love for me, and learn to release the fear. Pray that my relationship with the Father becomes the amazing love that He has planned.
I love you guys!
