You guys, you guys, you guys! I have so much too say and so little words to say it with! And no pictures to make this post look visually stimulating!
Our Lord is good! I guess thats as good a place to start as any. I met up with my siblings this morning for the first time in over a week and we all just started talking at the same time, in the middle of IHOP, very loudly, people may have stared. Thats what I’m feeling right now, that I just have to keep talking as fast as I possibly can to get all of the thoughts out and shared with everyone.
This last week I have learned just how present God is. I’ve learned that this Race is exactly what I’m supposed to be doing. I’m so excited that I’m writing this while i’m in church, the sermon is going on right now. I sat down after worshiping for the sermon and realized I am so excited about going to get to share my Lord that I seriously thought about what would happen if I just walked up on stage and started sharing (while the guest pastor is up there talking). But I supposed I should let the man talk and my Baptist church might get a little rumpled by the disruption in our time schedule. BUT that’s exactly WHY I wanted to. To get up there and tell people that this excitement of living for HIM exists!! It’s not just about having the basketball story that conveniently ties into 4 bullet points about Faith. (disclaimer: I’m not saying that this sermon cannot be used and wasn’t used by God. Also the Lord is in this church!) It’s just that we (maybe it’s just a “I”) forget how you just cannot have faith without just doing it (horrendous english but maybe it makes sense?). Doing something uncomfortable and just flat out trusting, no bullet points required!
So instead I’m telling y’all, the internet world (I like to pretend there are millions of y’all reading this instead of the 100ish my blog count tells me there are) how God is just building my confidence and joy and excitement in getting to go for my Lord. I’m doing what’s exactly in the Bible.
also, I AM GOING!!!! I am going to ELEVEN different countries! It didn’t hit me until this last Thursday at camp when we found out our launch date. NOT only our launch date BUT what country we are going to FIRST!?! July 3rd, my dear G- Squad is leaving for NEPAL!??! NEPAL, people!!!!!!!
I also have a team, I officially know the 6 people I will be spending day in and day out with learning to walk in step with our Lord together.
This blog is starting to get too long and I’m afraid I haven’t even told y’all the half of it! Just random sentences thrown out. This might be the week of blog posts to go in to more detail about it all!
P.S. something else that hit me this week was how I have the privilege of asking for financial support just as the disciples I read about in the New Testament did. And the absolute craziest part is that God is going to provide! If you are the couple I met in the airport I would love to have your email, I was just so overcome with excitement about how God was using y’all in my life that I completely forgot about grabbing any kind of contact information!
I am in need of having $7500 in order to leave for Nepal. June 6 is the last day to mail in checks and June 17th is the last day for online donations in order for it to be in in time! I know God already has it taken care of and your donation is part of His provision. Thank You!
