Well folks it’s time to give you an update on the next step of this crazy journey with God. Thursday I left TC, MI and headed down south to North Carolina to meet up with World Race America (WRA) until the end of November. Another 9 months of journeying with God on Mission but this time in the United States. I’m not going to lie, it has been difficult to walk through. I have experienced a lot of persecution as far as what my next step SHOULD be. I know I wasn’t supposed to get a job right away, so I didn’t. I knew I was supposed to live with my parents, so I did. But I love Jesus enough to follow him into what he is calling me into regardless of what it looks like to others. And the cause of Christ, the sacrifice of following him means laying down my life and everything I have to follow him no matter the cost.. I have a willing heart to say yes. I want to be obedient into what he asking me to do. I fought it. I originally applied back in Ethiopia when the Lord specifically told me this was my next step, but because I wasn’t excited.. I used that as an excuse of not to go. Then I went to Project Searchlight, (a time for us alumni to gather after our return into the States and our leadership to have a sendoff) and he gave me the heartbreak for America as he did in every nation I went to last year. Sometimes God asks us to do things that don’t excite us and it’s not right to say no just because it wasn’t what we expected. Whatever or wherever he calls me to, I know it is for my best interest and ultimately his will. There is something beautiful relying on him for 2 years to provide for you in every way possible. I have seen his faithfulness in the little things and of course in the big things. I have full confidence that this year will be wild like last year was. The best part is have no expectations other than I know God is going to wreck me in a way he hasn’t before, I know I’m going to experience his love in a much deeper and more beautiful way, I’m going to grow more intimately with him, and I’m going to see the radical Awakening of the Church and Revival in America. I’m so excited for this opportunity to be a light back here in America. I couldn’t be more thankful for the Lord and how he orchestrated this altogether.
I know that with this year means fundraising again, which is so much fun because it’s just another testimony of his faithfulness and provision and favor over my life. My first fundraising goal is $4,000 by May 1st and I’m humbly asking you if you feel led to donate please do so right here on my blog! Thank you so much for keeping up with my journey and all of your constant support and prayers. I love each of you who read this!!!
