Month seven, over halfway there, but still four months to go. My thoughts have begun to wonder. Some days I think about home. I think about what it will be like when I return. I think about how I have changed, but there will still be expectations for me to be the same when I return. I think about what the future holds after. Then I am brought back to reality.
Reality is what is happening right now. Reality is my team. Reality is Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. Reality is working with Pastor Edwin and Pastor Joe. Reality is soaking this place in prayer and believing in God to answer. Tomorrow can wait because today is happening right now.
This month has been the most stretching spiritually. When we arrived in KL we had no idea what we would be doing. All we knew is our contacts name. Beyond that we did not know what would happen. For the first four days here in the city all we could do was trust that God would set our days before us. We prayed. We rested a lot and waited on the Lord to guide our steps. The first sunday we were given two options for church and my team and I decided that we wanted to go to a nondenominational church around the corner. When we arrived we were greeted with open arms. It was if they were expecting us and expecting us they were. Through some communication with our contact and the pastor of the church we were able to come live in that very church. In fact our ministry this month would be building the church up and being apart of the youth gatherings.
Man have I learned from this church already. They have taught discipline. They have taught rest. They have taught intimacy with the Father. They have taught giving and asking nothing in return. My team has been so encouraged and we know that the Lord has us in this very place for a reason.
Life is good today. It does not change that the future will happen and that on the 31st of this month we will be leaving this church heading to Cambodia. I have learned that what will change today however is how I embrace it. Do I embrace it as important?
