Not everyone knows about the incredible things
God has done in my life because ever since I started this journey with God,
I’ve faced judgment and criticism from individuals. I have had close people in my life say
all sorts of things to me about my faith and the life I live. And I never
realized what an impact their judgment had had on my life, how much it really
sunk its teeth into me, but that all changed when I got back from training camp
and God exposed my fears.
What would people say if I told them that I believe God
created the Earth? I have spent years researching
creation and the big bang theory and evolution, and I can tell you exactly why
I believe what is in the book of Genesis over alternative explanations and
theories created by humans.
What would people say if I told them that I firmly believe I can do greater things
than Jesus did, because the Bible tells me so (John 14:12)?
What would people say if I told them that miracles do
exist today? That Jesus wants a relationship with each of us?
What would people say if they knew that in college I was
a guest speaker in an atheist’s class about why I believe in God? Or about the
time I prayed for healing for my blind classmate? Or about the number of people I shared the Gospel with?
What would people say?
God has done miracles in my life these past four years, and
I have seen the Book of Acts come to life through healings, miracles, love,
faith and much more. It’s been wonderful.
And now it’s time to share. It is time for me to break out
of my shell-to not be afraid of words people say to and about me. And that’s
why training camp didn’t click. I saw truth and freedom in other people,
because I saw people who would help me break out and walk away from my shell of
fear, and I was scared. I was afraid to fully commit to this process, because
it means that there’s no turning back.
burning passion for Jesus and bringing His kingdom to Earth, and they might not
respond well to that. But then again, God may use my blog and my stories to
blow fear out of the water.
So about launch… Yes, I’ll be there. Fully, 100% committed to the World Race. Only this time, I’m leaving behind my fears because, “There is
no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with
punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love” (1 John 4:18).
