Well.. here I am, back in the USA!
I don’t know where to start but here I go!
I’m doing well.. extremely well. I finished up my time in eSwatini with O-Squad in February and made my way back to Georgia to debrief with a few of the other Alumni Squad Leaders that launched in October along with our mentors.
It’s been an interesting transition! While on the field I received so much revelation of the love of God and my identity in him, I just feel unstoppable and unashamed. I have more peace than ever before. I’m able to simply rest in who I am and I can honestly and even sadly say that I’ve never felt this way before.
Fear of the future, fear of failure, and just fear in general is melting away and I’m simply soaking in the simplicity of living in the present.
With that being said, I don’t have plans for the future. God willing, I’m making two more trips out on the field to meet my squad (still fundraising). Between now and then? Well, I’m taking it one day at a time. Maybe I’ll get a part time job, maybe I’ll apply to a university, maybe both, maybe neither.
Will I stay in Wisconsin? Missouri? Georgia? Somewhere else? Well, I don’t know that either, so many states feel like home and honestly, a few different countries do too. I’m playing everything by ear and praying for my Shepherd’s voice to be clear.
Call me crazy but this is the first time in my life I’ve had real peace in the uncertainty and although I don’t want to push it overboard, I want to enjoy every moment of this season.
Please continue to pray for me (it’s working) and pray for my sweet O-Squad family that have just over 5 months left overseas. They are some of the fiercest lovers and gentlest giants I’ve ever met and I am absolutely BLOWN away at the 5 months I’ve had to pour into them so far. Please pray for them to continue to grow in their relationship with the Lord, for them to press into the gift of community around them, and for them to share the love and good news of Jesus Christ everywhere they go.
Please pray for me and my co-leader, Alex, as we transition from life overseas to life in the states.. for the transition out of scheduled, hands on ministry with our squad into long distance, intentional relationship and discipleship.. and for even more revelation of God’s love.
What is life? Sometimes I don’t know.. I’m just so overwhelmed at God’s goodness.
You can comment, text, or message me on facebook with a prayer request, I’d love to petition the Lord on your behalf. 🙂
Thanks for your support!
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
