Okay wow so I literally cannot believe that march is over!! Time is genuinely flying by and I wish it would just slow down. The countdown for the Race is officially on with only 150 days until I leave for training camp!! While I am so excited it is coming up so quickly and I feel as if I have so many things that I need to get done. But it is in moments like these where I start to feel overwhelmed that the Lord offers me a sweet invitation to take a deep breath and press into Him. So as hard as it may be I’m choosing to trust that the Lord is going to bring everything together.
What the Lord has been teaching me:
Most of March has been a month of attempting to put into practice what the Lord has been showing me about rest. In my walk with the Jesus, I used to think once I learned something from the Lord that was it, and I had that down. However over the last year I have realized that it takes time and effort to learn from and practice what the Lord has showed me.
I am realizing more and more that living my life with Jesus is more about being faithful than always getting it right. It is a life of learning and continually returning to Jesus feet regardless of what is happening in my life, good or bad. For a couple of years of my life with the Lord I would look for shortcuts or a little hack to become more like Jesus instantly or just be 100% better. But Iv come to see that’s simply not what being a disciple of Jesus is. Yes Jesus brings complete freedom and who the son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36) and I have seen this freedom in my life. But also, being a disciple is choosing to walk every road of life with Jesus both the joyful ones and the hard ones, and letting Him come in and refine my heart through it all. So for me right now I am learning to walk with Jesus on a road of dependency and rest, listening out for the fathers voice. Along with this, March has been a month where I am realizing just how much I need Jesus every day, I simply cannot make it through a day without Him. When I try to, I most certainly am not a person who is overflowing with love. So I guess in short I’m learning that this life with Jesus is a long road of learning from and staying connected to Jesus. As I abide in Jesus He abides in me and wow is this a beautiful transformative thing.
Prayer request: As my date to leave seems to be so quickly coming up I ask that yall pray that everything that needs to get done will be done, funding would come in, but more so that there would be peace and readiness to jump into what the Lord is going to do and not hold anything back! Along with this continue praying for the people we are going to meet, that there hearts would be softened and tender ready to receive Jesus and all the beauty that is found in Him!
Fundraising Update: I am 53% Funded for the World Race, to say I am surprised to have as much in as I do now would be an understatement. However I am still in need of $8,984 to cover the cost of this trip. But if iv learned one thing its that the the Lord provides abundantly, and I have no doubt He will provide all that is remaining in His timing.
