There are 4 squads leaving in cover the globe and witness of God's love in September. There are more people leaving in September than ever in World Race history!! Yesterday my squad received an email, there are too many people on our squad and not enough people on Route 4, Squad L. They asked us to leave at the feet of Jesus, and to prayerful consider switching routes.
Immediately I told God no I was not switching, this email was meant for other people to switch. My mind was made up….but God wasn't finished there. I should learn from my past, you never tell God no. All day long God dealt with me and Route 4 never thought my heart or mind. "Come on God, this is insane. I can't switch squads 3 days before training camp. I mean seriously…I already have my shirt made for squad wars!!" I called a few close friends and told them what was going on and asked them to pray about what I was supposed to do, (in reality I was hoping they would pray everything would stay the same.)
At 4 in the morning, I surrendered to God. "If this is where YOU want me then I will go. YOU have called me to this trip, YOU know what this year holds. I am YOUR follower, so I will follow wherever YOU lead."
So 2 days before training camp EVERYTHING changes. I don't know any of my squad mates, I'm not 100% sure of my squad color or what I'm supposed to wear to camp on Saturday. I can't tell you the countries I am going to off the top of my head anymore, and I can't tell you anything about my countries….but I can tell you GOD IS THERE, HE IS MOVING. WATCH OUT WORLD….L SQUAD IS ON IT'S WAY!!!
Here are my new countries….
Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Philippines, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda
One thing I have learned about this upcoming year…they tell us over and over to leave your expectations behind. And I know personally, when I have expectations I tend to put God in a box and expect Him to perform…God doesn't work in a box (there is not a box BIG enough for Him). SO with all my expectations laid down, God use me how YOU want to use me. Make me uncomfortable in order to show others you love them and to help my faith in YOU.
