Hey beautiful beloved people:)
Last country, maybe last blog?
One month until we will be home and I gotta say I’m getting really excited. I’ve hit a level of discomfort in the last month that has felt really unsustainable for me. In that discomfort I can see myself growing and being stretched in ways I would never willingly put myself through. I’m so grateful for that… yet ready for home. There’s something about making it so far and then once you see the finish line you realize how tired you are. I’m eager to stay in one home, see my family and friends, cook and eat healthy, read my Bible on my back porch, know God more in a familiar place, pursue community near me and just take it slow.
You could say this is a real, raw blog but let me testify and never forget some things I’ve learned over this journey.
– I have been forever changed by the ways I’ve gotten to know God the last 11 months.
– I have experienced freedom from sin in radical ways- deliverance is real!
– God has tilled the soil for me to have healthy life long relationships.
– God has created and blessed me as a leader, a friend, a future spouse and mother.
– I have a heart for worship and creating art that embodies truth and Gods love.
– I can never earn Gods love or salvation, it was freely given to me.
– Pain is not a thing to try and avoid. Mourning is a part of life and it’s important for a healthy life.
– Inner healing is important, and possible. I have access to Heaven on Earth!
– God has planned a future for me that is far more than anything I could have ever dreamed of and I don’t need to be afraid of where I’m going.
– I hear Gods voice and feel His Spirit in tangible ways.
– It is in Gods design to be discipled and to disciple others. I will pursue mentorship and guidance when I come home and will seek to mentor others too.
– The Bible is true! It’s not just words, it’s life giving and changing truth!
– Intimacy with God is the most valuable thing I will ever have.
I am sure I could go on and on. What a blessing it is for me to know these to be true. I don’t have words. My life would look so different if I didn’t take the step of faith to come on this trip. I thank God for planting that seed so long ago.
Let’s see where knowing You more will take me next! I love you Daddy! I trust you, help me trust you more, amen❤️
