Each season of the race has had a theme for me. Some seasons last a month, some longer but each one creates a new page in the book of my life. The lessons I have learned have grown my faith. They have taken me to new heights spiritually. They have grown me closer to God. My thoughts have been redefined and new conclusions have been drawn out. This season is taking me to deeper intimacy with God.
This month has been full of hospital visits and prayer walks. Honestly these were the two things I HATED and DREADED coming on the race. I have had panic and anxiety attacks walking into hospitals since my mother died. I honestly couldn't do it and when I did I felt like I was going to pass out. I hated it and often times found reasons and ways to get out of hospital ministry. This month I walked into the hospital the first week and again felt the panic. I went home discouraged and invited God in. He walked me through some stuff that centered around my mom and hospitals. The next time we went to the hospital I was fine. Yesterday I walked into the ICU and prayed for a young man. I felt so alive, so free. It was one of the best experiences of the race for me. Prayer walks were also not fun for me. Not that everything had to be fun but walking around the neighborhood for hours and praying was of no interest to me. I surrendered it to God and again invited him in. He transformed prayer walks for me. I now look forward to them and what the Father wants to teach me during them. It has been a great month.
I still need $2,440 to finish the race. Every dolllar donated is a huge help. Please consider donating and helping me out. Thank you to everyone that has helped. It has been a huge blessing in my life and the lives of those I have been able to serve.
