Kenya, Africa
This month marks the halfway point! I
have about 5 months left of this amazing, life changing World Race.
Over the past 5-6 months, I have not only worked through a ton of my
own junk, but I have learned a ridiculous amount about the Lord.
Below, you will find a summary of what each month meant for me.
New Zealand: I learned what it was like
to be a team leader- to prefer my team above anything else. This
month, I found that I had to literally fight for my time with the
Lord. It was obvious that I could do absolutely nothing without
seeking Him first. I found that the more I fought to spend time with
Him, the more He fought to spend time with me.
Australia: This was a month of silence
and waiting for me. The Lord taught me the importance and power of
prayer and intercession. Through making the decision of glorifying
God in the silence, He revealed Himself to me and spoke straight to
my heart. Worship became real to me this month. God showed me what it
meant to become undignified before Him. Oh, and I got Baptized!!
Philippines: I finally began to step
into the identity God created for me. I found that the more I spoke
truth over myself and into my life, the more I walked in it. This was
the first time I really felt how much the Lord loves me. He revealed
Himself to me through the manifestations of the Spirit, such as
speaking in tongues and healing a woman’s knee.
Cambodia: This month was a roller
coaster for me. In the beginning, I really felt the Lord speak
through me into the lives of some of the other racers. He gave me
boldness that I was lacking when it came to speaking what He was
saying. Towards the end of the month, I realized that somewhere in
all the traveling and busyness of squad leading, I fell asleep
spiritually. Thankfully, He woke me up before leaving the country.
Thailand: The Lord’s grace became real
to me this month. The Lord showed me that I was still sitting in some
performance- not performing for others, but for Him, and He asked me
to share that with a group of 60. Through humbling myself and
deciding to walk in freedom of performance, the Lord used me to walk
someone else into freedom. I also realized that I don’t let things
affect me, I tend to take most things in stride as to deal it with
easier… still working through that one.
Kenya: This month, I learned that the
Lord not only speaks through me when I preach, but He speaks directly
to me. The Word came alive to me. I am reading the book of Hosea and
it is speaking volumes to me about where my heart has been. He is
taking my heart back to the place it was when I was in Australia. My
dependency on Him is growing again, He is loving on me more than ever
and teaching me what intentionality looks like.
