I have now been home from the WorldRace for about 3 months. Life has been difficult trying to process and digest all of what God did in my life over the 11 month period. It is so hard to try and parcel together a coherent and concise response to the question of ‘How was it?’ I had so much change occur and wisdom poured into me. It became overwhelming to have all of that flood into my mind as that question was asked. So I guess this is my way of apologizing to those who did ask the question and thought that I seemed short with them or at a loss for words.
I wanted to sit down with all of you, and tell all of the great things that God did through in me and through me in the most life changing and exciting year of my life! In this next season of life I wanted to be more intentional with the giftings, passions, and wisdom that he has instilled in me. One new passion that God gave me was discipleship of the younger generation and my peers. Many people over this past year spoke high influence and leadership over me. This was a surprise to me and it hit me like snowball to the face. After listening to what God had to say, and now that I was aware of this in my life, I was able to see it manifest more and more. As of right now I am not the most confident with having just found out that people look to me to lead without my consent of wanting this responsibility. However, in the last three months or so of my race I was able to press into this a little more and see all that God had for in it, but now that I was home it took on a completely new concept being in my old and familiar environment. All of this is leading up to my next step in my walk to progress and dig deeper into God’s plan for my as I bring the new aspect of influence and leadership everywhere I go.
About a week ago I applied and was accepted into a three month leadership position for a college-age mission trip. I am flying back out to Cambodia and Thailand. This time my focus of ministry has shifted from the people in each country to the students who are coming with me on the trip! I will still be doing ministry alongside them, but my priority is their growth in their relationship with God by imparting the wisdom and knowledge through my own life experiences.
This is me asking for prayer support and donations as I go back out into the world to disciple and mentor college-age students. This time though it’s only $2,000!
Specific prayer requests: wisdom, discernment, patience, and eyes to see the needs of my team.
