I've been off the race for one month today and I thought just maybe, I should post something. I want to thank you all for your prayers for my safe arrival home and for the adjustments that come with being away from American culture for a year. I want to thank you for the encouragement and blessings you have been and are continuing to be. Thank you for praying through these last 12 months. Thank you for all of your financial provision. There are so many things I am so grateful, but for now, Thank you.

I have many a thoughts in my head that I want and need to get out, those words will come, but for now… I was at debrief with my squad this past week in Gainesville, GA and we were given an exercise, to write for 5 minutes with nothing but, "Suppose God…". Here's mine, 

Suppose God loves you.

Suppose God loves you so much He wants to break your heart.

Suppose God loves you so much He desires to wreck you, total everything you’ve ever believed. 

Suppose God loves you so much He desires to make beauty from the ashes.

Suppose God loves you so much, that He’ll do absolutely anything to see you walk in freedom.

Suppose God loves you so much that He will deliver you of demons who cringe and writhe at the sound of His name, and their punishment would last forever.

Suppose God loves you so much, that He will make the day happen where your mind is completely rewired. 

Suppose God loves you so much, that He gives you His mind.

Suppose God loves you so much, that when you give Him your thoughts, He crushes the captive ones, and cements the truth.

Suppose God loves you so much that He’ll fight for you.

Suppose God loves you so much, that He’ll fight for you every day, because you are worthy, because you are pursuable, because He wants you, all of you.

Suppose God loves you so much, that you risk everything to walk in the freedom He lays before you, because He loves you, because you are worthy, because You just are.
