I am entering into month 11 and find it hard to believe that this huge and priceless experience is coming to an end. I have lived around the world for almost a year now and can’t really imagine what home will be like after this.
Before I left, I had my future ‘planned’ out in my mind. I would go on the race, learn about Jesus, come home, take photos, and maybe meet a husband or something (had to throw that in for the romantics). As all of that seems great, God has other plans!
I’ve learned to stop planning my future, because when we plan we lose sight of what is happening in the present, and God only lives in the present. Why would I be wasting time planning my future when I don’t even know what that holds, when I could be chillin with Jesus right here and now!? It’s crazy. Anyway, that all being said, I am going to be attending G42 in January for 6 months! This is a huge decision that I have been thinking and praying about since month two in Haiti when I first found out about it.
G42 is a leadership and discipleship program based in Mijas, Spain. Here I will be mentored and taught how to make my business more Christ oriented. I will be living in a community of radical believers who are fervently pursuing The Lord and the dreams he has put on our hearts. I will be home for a short 6 months after the race where I will be doing photography (hit me up if you need photos 😀 ) and saving up money for this next chapter.
It’s amazing how The Lord makes everything work together for our good. He places desires on our hearts and blesses us by calling us to them. I have no idea what Spain holds, what the next six months hold, or even after Spain. The only thing I am sure of is that God is always on my side and fighting for me. He’s my rock and my comfort and nothing can come against. He is all I need.
The unknown is the scariest, yet most amazing place to be in. All you have is your trust in God to get to through. I just want to encourage you all out there right now. If you have a dream or calling that God has put on your heart, do everything in your power to make it happen. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do it, it’s a stupid and crazy decision, or that you aren’t equipped. God doesn’t call the equipped, he equips the called. Seek out your passions. Seek out the fathers heart. Be bold and courageous. Follow Jesus and listen for his guiding voice.. Everything after that will all fall into place.
See you soon, Spain!!
