My team is in "German, Bulgaria" this month, working with an organization called "Mission Possible." We are helping them with handy work that needs to be done & having 6 extra pairs of hands around really helps quicken the process! We are sharing our testimonies in church & hoping to uplift others through our experiences & life stories, along with any other tasks/speaking opportunities that may arise. Being here is an encouragement to me personally, the young people in the church are so on fire for God & you can tell they earnestly soak in everything shared from the Word of God. So often on the race we are around new Christians & baby Christians, but I believe this month in Bulgaria there will be lots for us to learn from them & I am open to growing & being encouraged by those we are serving with.Their passion for God is contageous & genuine!
When I think of how far God's brought me this past year, I am amazed! So many times I find myself tired & running on low energy. Many times throughout my journey, I've had the opportunity to share what God is doing in my life, & how faithful He's been even when life brings hardship, & the more I hear myself share what's going on in my life, the more I realize "wow, God really does give me the energy & strength I need to persevere." It seriously amazes me, because I know my own capabilities & I know how weak my flesh can be, it is by the grace of God that I have gotten as far as I have; His supernatural strength in me. Considering the journey my hearts been on, in finding peace, understanding & healing after my mother's death; I am so thankful for His faithfulness & strength to keep me going. I would have given up a long time ago if I was to depend on my own strength. Moments when I feel I've hit my limits, He gives me the second wind I need to continue on, & to find joy in doing so. Seriously, if I was to share what I feel God has taught me the most throughout this journey, it is His FAITHFULNESS! He never leaves my side, He constantly is there to pick me up when I fall, He is the One who gets me through anything.
Being able to look back & see the journey He's carried me through, only strengthens my faith, because He is constantly faithful. Because of this supernatural strength & energy I am running on, I can say I am excited & ready to continue on & to truly enjoy the moments I have left on this race!
All ready to get to work!!
Sharing about God's faithfulness!
Sharing my testimony! Standing beside me is my translator & friend Yoana!
