We’ve officially been on the World Race for 50 days!
Sometimes I think I need to be pinched and woken up from this dream.
Other times living like this seems so normal, I start to forget that this isn’t normal.
In some moments I feel this “Oh boy, what did I get myself in to?” question rise up and in others I feel so completely alive I think I might burst.
Over the past 50 days I have had these conversation with God multiple times.
“Really, God? THIS is my life? Who really gets to do this stuff? This is ridiculous!”
Daughter, I love you. I love to lavish you with good things!
“God, I’m not really sure what I’m doing here. I know You’re in this, but I’m not right now. I know I said I’d go where You lead but…what am I doing here?”
Daughter, I see you. I see your heart. And I see them. I see their needs and their hearts. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have sent you.
“Hey, God? Who am I? Because I thought I knew, but right now I’m not so sure.”
Hey, Daughter? You are MINE. And You are loved, fully and perfectly. Who you are is enough. Who I AM is more than enough in you and for you.
As crazy or normal as it may seem on any give day, this is the story of my life and the author is the Lord. In this season of abandonment and adventure, intentional community and continual change, JESUS is constant. He is FAITHFUL. He speaks and I get to see the mountains move. He believes when I don’t. He calls me to step forward in faith and step up into my authority as His daughter.
50 days in and about 280 to go.
To quote the Chinese NBA magazine page I found…
It’s been a long journey…
and this is just the beginning!
