Mom and I were at IN-N-OUT Burger the other day- Yes, another perk of being home in the United States. We were eating before we went to my friend Jasmine’s basketball game. One thing led to another and we ended up talking to this lady. She had asked why I was limping and we began talking about The World Race and many other things. At one point in the conversation Mom and I looked at each other because we knew we were going to be late for the game and we decided this sweet lady was more important. We continued to let Cori share her heart and troubles and just minister to her. We ended up being late to Jasmine’s game, but it was worth it. God wanted us to be with Cori at that time and I was still able to see Jasmine play. During the game, I kept thinking about all the times I have lived my life going IN-N-OUT. Rushing from one thing to the next. Living by my own agenda and not leaving room for anything. I thanked God for letting me see this opportunity but prayed I would continue to be aware of these opportunities. That I would continue to be led by the Spirit rather than my own agenda. In Galatians 5 it talks about freedom in Christ. Do we use our freedom to love others or destroy others? Are we led by the Spirit or the flesh? Verse 25 says, “Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.” I pray that the Holy Spirit leads you to many people and many wonderful opportunities.
Don’t just be IN-N-OUT, take time to invest into people. Love.
Galatians 5:14 “For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Quick update: I am alive. I am home for the holidays. I saw the orthopedic surgeon in Phoenix and he said everything was healing well and I can throw out the crutches. Praise God, I can walk on my own! I am thankful for many things. I am continuing with physical therapy at L.A. Fitness. I am enjoying my time alone with the Lord, so if you have any prayer needs, let me know.
I don’t know what the future holds but am continuing to seek God’s leading.
I am so blessed by all your prayers and support. I love the body of Christ. God is so Good.
May you feel God’s love and hear His voice each moment.
