So something I wanted to write about was the transition from Central America to Europe. I fell in love with Central America. It’s funny because that was one of the least places I wanted to go but when I switched over to this new route I felt like this was exactly where The Lord wanted me to be. I made some amazing friends on my team, homeward bound. I learned so many things and I know I could’ve learned more instead of holding back but it’s ok because God is letting me do that with this new team I was put on. When I read the email about team switches my heart dropped. I knew I didn’t put everything into homeward bound because of fear, but the last week I was with my team we really poured into each other and I realized how much we truly love one another. Those are my original homies and I am so blessed that The Lord let me be apart of homeward bound.
Switching to a new team I cried, not because I didn’t want to switch but it was overwhelming to think ahh I have to open up all over again, be vulnerable and get to know 6 more females! God reminded me, it is ok! I can do this. In Honduras The Lord reminded me I am an overcomer, in Guatemala The Lord reminded me i just need to rest in Him, in El Salvador The Lord taught me how to trust in Him with my life, with my gifts he’s given me and to let Him lead me. It is something I am working on daily but wow when you shut up and listen, the things The Lord shows you are amazing. Through out this trip I have been so blessed though. The Lord blessed me with an amazing friendship with someone from El Salvador. Just to think I wasn’t even suppose to go to El Salvador or to YWAM but how God blessed me there because I let Him.
It was so hard to leave YWAM with the amazing people who worked there then to leave my team homeward bound! It was all so much at first. In the midst of all of it, Gods been teaching me to trust Him and He reminded me this is the time where you need to trust me and know that my plans are much better than what you can ever imagine for yourself. Yes knowing this I should be like ok! Let’s do this thing, but sometimes it takes me one, two, three maybe four times to fully surrender and be like alright God you are right, you know way better than me.
I will miss you Team Homeward Bound, you have been amazing and have changed my life! Just to think you had such an impact in my testimony! You add to my story and will forever be in my heart.
Alright Lord I am ready for the next step in my life, I am ready for my new team, Team Radiant. I am ready to learn and grow even more the next few months with these awesome women of God.
