Tonight was a night at my church that was clearly orchestrated by none other then the Holy Spirit.
We are going through a vision series at my church.
"I Am"
I AM the resurection and the life.
I AM the true vine
I AM the shepherd
And along with those we have been going through the main themes of our church.
Family
Identity
Sacrifice
Mission
Tonight the I am?
I AM the light of the world
Tonight the theme?
Mission
Tonight?
The last time I will regularly attend this church
Tomorrow?
The day I move home to start this short transistion period to the race.
And tonight I recieved something new about the world race that I didn't have before.
I recieved this pure and UTTER joy about getting the chance to dig ditches to allow His water to flow to places that are dry.
And ya know the greatest thing about all of this?
Who would have thought?
I've been in the OC for 9 years.
And in that 9 years never realized the greater story God was writing.
Never saw the intricate ways he put people, events, posistions, seasons in my life to lead me here.
But God had even bigger plans.
"Rivers gotta flow,
Lights gotta shine"
He blessed me with people who surround me daily to lift me up and encourage me.
Through all of this world race process I have been growing stretching and learning.
I have had peace about it.
I know it is where I am meant to be.
Tonight though?
Tonight I found joy.
Tonight I was bubbling with excitement to go on this trip.
To share my light with the world.
So amidst all this sadness; amidst this transistion; I have joy.
Why?
Rivers gotta flow
lights gotta shine.
