Here I am looking out at a beautiful river with a gorgeous Mountain View right out my backyard. As I am sitting here, I am constantly thinking when did my new normal become so epic. My new normal involves a new backyard every month, a new way together my morning coffee every month, a new way a sleeping arrangement every month, a new definition of what smells looks like every month. In this new normal it’s not about that life is completely different every month, it’s about my trust, Love, and relationship with the Lord continuous to grow and absolutely lighten and glow in these new lifestyles. In each month sometimes I am surrounded by people who know the true meaning of trusting in the Lord in everything they do and are, but in the times where I am around those who need to see and have someone talk to them and show them what a relationship with the Lord looks like, what love and trust in the Lord looks like, God gives me the authority to do that. My normal should have always looked like walking in trust in the Lord, walking in love in the Lord, and walking in the fruitful life that comes with a strong relationship with the Lord. As I am sitting here looking and resting in my new normal in trusting in the Lord, loving all things in the Lord, and resting my relationship with the Lord, the Lord gives me peace in that it does not matter where I am, what backyard I’m looking at, it will always be beautiful because, the joy, the wonder, the beauty, the peace, the comfort goes with me because it is all held within my relationship with the Lord. Life here in Jamaica is happy. Jamaicans have a way of life that lights your soul on fire for the Lord. I attended a funeral, Yes! That’s right I attended a funeral, it was for our hosts mother. In the states a funeral looks a whole like mourning, but here a funeral is about rejoicing. It’s a party of celebration in that everyone says, “They are in a better place than we are.” Sometimes it’s hard to believe life could get better than this, as you are in a place where God’s Glory is shining down. When someone has a relationship with the Lord and God calls the home, Let us rejoice in that they get to meet the Man who we get to do life with and devote our love, our trust, and he gives it back and more. Today and furthermore in my life nothing will be normal, because living the unusual is my new normal. What will ways be with me in my life is my walk in authority in my relationship with the Lord.
