One thing that I’ve been learning so far on the race is the way I want to grow and learn more about God. I have been so hungry and needing more of Him. On the race, you don’t always get what you want. One thing that I’ve been wanting is to get poured into, to be discipled to a point where I can grow like never before.
The race is a place where you have to have self governance and make your self grow. That’s where I had to stop where I was in my walk with Christ and realized that, if this is something I truly want, then this is what I have to work for.
I have to read the Bible everyday on my own. People can’t tell me what to do to make my relationship with God better. I have to want it. I have to open up every day asking “Lord what can you show me today that I didn’t know about yesterday.” I’ve been praying for the Lord to help me understand his word, and grasp anything that he wants me to learn. I don’t always have wifi on the race where I can just google questions or have a devotional. This is going back to the days where it’s just you and God and that’s honestly where my relationship with him is gonna be the best.
I’ve been learning to ask God to be with me in the bad moments. It’s a place where I’m constantly growing. It’s hard and uncomfortable, but I’m slowly starting to realize that when life on the race gets hard this is when I need to trust the Lord and lean into the word; to take all I know and use it for my good. Life here is hard, but I’m growing, and growth is good
