I‘m doing pretty great! But, I’m not going to lie….I’m exhausted!
Being in the field for 9 mos. straight and moving every month to a
different country, culture, and home can definitely be tiring! And it
kinda makes me wonder if this is what it was like for Jesus and His
disciples…constantly moving around…just going and bringing the
Gospel to wherever they go! And I wonder if they were ever this
exhausted? I don’t think I could ever explain my whole trip to anyone
outside of the people who are on the trip with me…and them fully
understanding….there’s so much that has happened…so much I have
seen and witnessed…so much I have been blessed to be a part of!
I have witnessed God heal a blind man! I have been a part of God
healing a young boy of cancer in his leg! I have heard of how God had
blessed a child with the money to go back to school the very next day
after we had prayed for him! I have seen people fall on their faces in
worship and prayer for Him…I have seen the tears of desperation for
His presence fall from the eyes of believers! I have felt the hate
that the devil has for God’s children! I have seen demons take over
people’s bodies and lives…I have spoken to them and prayed against
them! I have held babies who were given away and unloved…I have held
them and cried over them prayers that would break the lies of the
enemies…I have spoken truth into them…I have spoken God’s love into
them! I have hugged children who hardly ever get hugged…who hardly
ever feel love! I have let them lay in my laps and rest their heads on
me….it didnt’ matter if they had lice or hadn’t bathed in weeks! I
have prayed for women who have been beaten and/or forgotten! Women who
have been told that they are unworthy! I have shed tears for women
caught in a web of sexual lies….being told that they are only made
for the pleasure of men…that they are nothing else! I have prayed
for men who have felt loss! Men who feel shame b/c they can’t provide
for their families! Men who find pleasure in the things of the world
and who have not experienced the love of the Father! I have battled
against the lies and the power that Satan tries to have over this Race,
over my squad, over my teammates, and over myself! I have seen so
much! I have seen God bring joy to the broken hearted….I have felt
the release of the Holy Spirit in many places and ways! I have seen
God bring healing! I have seen God alive in many! I know my God
exists! And I want more!
I still have two months left out here…and then I come home! And
I’m scared! I have no idea what’s going to happen when I get home!
And I have to remind myself that God does…and I have to continue to
trust Him and have faith in Him that He will share His perfect plans
with me when I need to know and lead me in the right path! I have so
much going on in my head right now! ha! Anyways…thanks for letting
me share!
