Ten months ago, I agreed to go on this crazy, 11 month journey around the world. I knew that I could potentially come back a different person if I chose to press into the Lord…
But I had no idea that I had signed up for an
EXTREME MAKEOVER!!
The Lord has done an overhaul on my spiritual, physical, mental, and physical being…and it has been beautiful at times and excruciating in some moments.
Back in Cambodia, I found myself journaling the following:
A different woman is emerging. I can feel it. I can see it. There is a lightness in her that is visible. And Your peace is rising within her. As I look in the mirror, I see a beauty like I’ve never known before. Her name is Joy.
I don’t recognize this woman I see in the mirror, and it is scary. The Lord has taken who I was and turned my ashes into beauty. Yet I often find myself wanting to cover the “nakedness” I feel. He has taken so much of who I was that I can’t go backwards, yet I have lost all control of who I am, where I’m going, and when and how I will get there.
But I am in the center of His love for me…which is a place I never want to leave.
More later on the specifics of all that He is doing in me.
For now, know that He will give you an
Extreme Makeover,
if only you would just have a “YES!!” in your spirit and let Him take the reins of your life!
