A friend posted a writing prompt and this is what came out. I think this is my last world race blog!! (maybe considering starting a wordpress..) stay tuned. But thank you for the support and prayers this year!!! 

 

This is an Insight to what I’m feeling and seeing.

“What do you see?”

Last month I saw mountains and valleys, sunrises and sunsets. I was seeing desperation in eyes for something more. Something bigger than their hunger and more plentiful than their gardens.

Last week I saw oceans. I saw the vastness of creation and beauty. I felt the deep-ness of His love and was drowning in blessing. 

Today I see the busy life of New York. I see people who “have it all” but nothing at the same time. I see people who can’t see themselves. I see people crossing streets, sitting at tables, riding the subway all consumed with scrolling looking at a life they don’t have and missing the one right in front of them. 

I see a possibility of a future I don’t want. 

I see a picture of myself slipping onto a busy path, getting lost and searching for signs pointing in the right directions.

BUT I see Jesus. 

I see Him at every corner holding HIS sign saying, “follow me.” 

I feel my nerves turning into excitement. I feel my excitement turning into confidence. I feel my confidence turning into His gospel for His glory. 

Today, Im starting to see my new normal with the same Jesus in the same country I proudly call my home. 

I’m home!!
