There is more than this. There is so much more life to be found, people to love and truth to discover. We were made for more than this.
I blinked and when my eyes peeled open again it was month 5.
Some days feel like eternity and then I realize that it has been over a year since the journey began. A year ago the Race was a distant dream away and now I am caught up in the middle of this dream world.
What is this? Is this real life?
Yesterday, I found myself conversing with a Buddhist monk in the middle of Angkor Watt. He shared his passion with me and I shared mine. Two people and two worlds collided.
I blinked and he was gone.
I didn't ask to go on the World Race, I didn't ask to lead, I didn't ask to talk to him, but I received with a whole heart.
Come away with me, come away with me, its going to be wild, its going to be great, its going to be full of Me.
-Jesus Culture, Come Away/Let me in
I don't know what to think, I don't know what to say, I have NO idea what I am doing.
I know that the depth of me cries out to the depth of God. He knows me better than I know myself. He has more for me than I ever could ask for or imagine.
I get so lost in trying to “fix” myself: I am not passionate enough, I am not pouring out enough, I am not spiritual enough, my heart is not open enough…
I AM ENOUGH… and He is MORE.
When God called to Moses in the burning bush, Moses said, “Who am I that I should go to Pharoah?”
God responded, “I will be with you”
The Lord speaks His Name to Moses declaring that “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.”
The Lord breathed into us the very moment He created man. He breathes the Holy Spirit in us when we become a NEW creation and we breath out His Name: I AM.
Don't hold your breath.
Just… be. Be who He created you to be. Be His breath, be His hands and feet, be His words. Don't try and “get yourself out of the way” because He created YOU.
I found myself thinking that this was it. That I had reached the peak of what the Lord was going to show me during this race.
We move from glory to glory. There is ALWAYS more. Kingdom has not come yet. As we grow in our identity, as we discover who we truly are and as we continue to say "yes!" to where the Lord leads He carries us higher into ever increasing glory- not by anything that we work for, but by simplying resting in Him.
