So I realized that I haven’t written in a little while… So to start out with Hi!!!
I know that most of my other blogs were rather well I don’t really know, but they were all about what God has put on my heart for the last many months. I don’t know if it have been because I love sharing my story with anyone I meet who will listen to me or if I really have kind of started to just repeat the same things just in slightly different wording!
I’ve have been thinking about this a lot lately! My friend Gillian (Who was just recently accepted for the World Race in October!!!) were talking about how when it came to our decision to be a part of the World Race that God has put in a lot of repetition to make sure that we heard his call! It has seem that every sermon we hear, book we read, or conversation we had some how led to yet another subtle hint from Him saying this is right this is what I want you to do and now I want you to stop stressing out over it and trust me.
It has taken me some time and quite a bit of deep thinking to realize that while it all feels like just repetition it is really growth of understanding. Every time He has put one of those hints in front of me He has given me just a little bit more understanding to add to my story. Looking back now I can see just how my story has changed over the last little more than a year and it still is.
As part of our preparation we are reading a book called “Kingdom Journeys” written by Seth Barnes the founder of Adventures in Missions. Today as I was reading the third chapter I was again making new connections in my story. Following each chapter our mobilizer, Ricci, has provided us with a series of questions for us to talk about through a discussion group with one of our squad coaches and several members of our squad. The question for this chapter were all about how in the Bible it says that a seed needs to die in order to bear fruit.
For me this really put definition to the beginning of this adventure. While my Kingdom Journey hasn’t started yet He has been slowly preparing me for His reshaping. All I can say is that the close it becomes the more excited I get! There is a steady anticipation that has begun to feel palpable in the air around me. However, rather than it being tinged with nervousness, fear, and caution it carries an vast about of joy, excitement, and eagerness. I can hear Him telling me that I’m almost ready.
Thanks everyone for reading!
I want to make a few last quick points one is to Thank everyone who has been there for me over the last little more than a year you have all been a part of my healing and preparation for this. Your support has been the biggest blessing I have never felt so touched before than I have through this process. Thank you for truly Believing in me!
