Greetings Reader,
Last month God has brought something to my attention. This fact has rocked my world and to be honest I’m still processing it. While I was spending time with God one morning he told me that I was simply surviving, not thriving. At first I didn’t quite understand. For a long time I thought that they were one in the same. Wasn’t surviving thriving? Well the short answer: no. It’s not the same thing.
As men and women of God we are called to thrive. We are call to take action in every opportunity and work to the best of our ability. We are His children and like Him we should never do anything half way. God has shown me in Nepal that I’ve been surviving in excess because that’s all I’ve ever done. I’ve always took what I could get even if it was more than enough. I’ve been the master of my time, my eating habits, and my finances. In Nepal I spent too much in coffee shops with friends and not nearly enough time with my savior. I ate more because it was available and I felt like I missed out in India. I spent more than I had to spend because I wanted to possess more.
Some might mistake that as thriving like I often have, but looking through a different lens my eyes were opened to how much I was lacking.
Nepal was a wonderful month. I spent time with my entire squad and got to know people that otherwise I would have never met. I saw the Lord’s glory in the mountains every time I looked out the window. I saw His love for a country that doesn’t know Him and I saw Him grow mine and my team mate’s faith when He provided for us when we had nothing. Nepal was a wonderful month.
The Lord is so good. No matter where we lack, he fills the void. So this month in Cambodia I’m going to strive to rejoice in discipline and cherish responsibility. I’m going to try my best to stop being the master of my time, eating habits, and finances. I want to put God first in every single part of my life, I’m releasing my death grip. God doesn’t hold any good thing from me so I won’t continue to act like he is.
My journey here is just beginning and I can’t wait to see where I’ll end up. If you would like to help me meet my next financial deadline by October 1st I would greatly appreciate the support.
Thank you all who have sacrificed for me to be here. It will never go unnoticed.
With Gratitude,
Kirbie Head, World Racer
