I am blessed.
I’m at a point in my life that I daily look around and thank God for how amazing he has made my life. I’m living a life I’m so proud of with people who are so supportive. God has placed relationships in my life that I’ve been craving and searching for for years. Elevation University has turned into my family away from home. The girls in my eGroup have become my best friends. They are the most God Centered, encouraging relationships I’ve ever experienced. I have a stable job that I enjoy as well as a part time job to help cover the bills. I have a family that although we don’t see each other as often as I’d like or get to talk as much as we should continues to be supportive of my decisions. I have an extended group of friends who are just as supportive. Charlotte has become home.
As the world race approaches (just 8 short months away), I find myself wanting to hold on to this place, this moment, this life. I’ve finally gotten to where I want to be in my life and now it’s all about to change.
During Night 5 of Code Orange Revival, I told my friend and mentor Amber how I was feeling and found myself in tears in the middle of the Elevation Blakeney Lobby. She said something that spoke to what I needed to hear. She reminded me that the best is always ahead. God has placed this season in my life to prepare me for the next. God has always had the World Race as my plan and Elevation, my eGroup, my family, my friends, Charlotte were all just preparing me for this. Early that morning, Christine Caine had spoke more on this topic. She said that what we have seen is awesome but the best is still yet to come. We don’t want to celebrate what God once did, but what he does!
In the end, whether I was going on the World Race or not, things would change. Life is full of seasons and change. The question is will I use this moment to build momentum or will I sit back and mourn the passing of it? I chose to use this season to grow, learn, and become who God wants me to be. I am so blessed now and the best is still yet to come!
Thank you to all who continually challenge me, pour into me, and build me up. I wouldn’t be where I am today if God hadn’t placed you in my life.
Heart and Soul,
Kristi
