Africa is by far my FAVORITE continent that I have ever been to. It is so beautiful. Walking down the street is just breath taking. Everytime I step into a church the weight of the Spirit hits me and makes my heart swell. I have developed a love I could have never expected for a people I didn't know. In many ways I feel like I belong here that this is my home. I know that it is my home for the next two months yet but beyond that I wonder. I know that the Father has great things in store for me and I can't wait to see what they are.
Africa has shown me a freedom that I never expected. I have experienced freedom in WORSHIP, freedom in relationships, freedom in God, freedom in expectations, freedom in decisions, freedom in norms and freedom in prayer. I have walked away from the chains and the bondage that held me back from TRULY knowing God. In the process of walking through things I realized that the BIGGEST thing holding me back was myself. I was scared of what I didn't KNOW. I was scared of what I didn't UNDERSTAND. I didn't know what was coming. I only knew what I had been through and what I experienced. I wasn't sure what was next. If I TRUST God in everything and walk in the FREEDOM what will happen? I don't have the answers to my questions but I know that my God is great. As I walk into what is next I am excited. I'm letting go of my expectations for HIS because surely they are greater. I'm TRUSTING God with everything and I know that my FUTURE will be better for it. This FREEDOM that I have found comes at a PRICE. But I know that it is WORTH it. As I finish out this last two months of the Race I have a phrase I keep telling myself "GO BIG OR GO HOME" and so that is my plan. When I'm tired I seek the Spirit to refresh me. I'm going to come home tired but with the knowledge that I gave it my all for this season. I also know that all this freedom is just the begining of greater things. For now I will focus on what I have before me a WONDERFUL month in Rwanda with great ministry and sweet new friends.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider donating to my accound and helping me finish my Race. I only need $1,700 to be fully funded. Any donation would be a great blessing to me. Thank you to all that have helped so far this journey could not have happened without you. God Bless you all.
