So I’ve been in Georgia for about 3 days now and it has been amazing! This time of training has also been a time of refreshment and realigning.
When I left on May 30th, I was excited yet overwhelmed, ready yet insecure, saying yes yet saying no.
But the greatest weight I was carrying was fear. Fear of being a bad leader, or not living up to some imaginary standard I had for leadership but the Lord was not going to allow me to stay in this place.
In these 3 days God has realigned my sight with his and has revealed the lies I’ve been hiding behind.
fear of making a mistaking
not being good enough
not knowing what I’m doing
I had allowed myself to forget who God is, my identity, and what that meant for me.
FREEDOM
I have had truth spoken over me and have been reminded that I am not adequate in myself, to think that my ability to lead would come from me, but that my adequacy is in the Lord. (2 Corinthians 3:5)
So in a few short hours, I will be meeting the people I get to walk alongside as their leader and watch as God draws them to himself and changes them.
I could not be more excited for this!
So with that, I ask that you continue to pray that I would lead from a place of rest in the Lord and for the men and women to have a life altering encounter with the living God.
Update!!!! We will be in the city of Tacloban doing relief work. If you are not familiar with this place, it is the city that was just hit by typhoon Haiyan back in November 2013. That was just 7 months ago which means they are still very much trying to recover from the devastation.
Pray that God would help us to deal with the brokenness we will face in our own hearts over this. Also that he will display himself through us and bring hope and restoration both physically and spiritually to the Filipino people living there.
