These last two months were full of firsts. My first time going to Guatemala, teaching, sharing my full testimony. It was my first time getting a parasite, attempting to paraglide(it didn’t work out), getting salmonella. It was my first time going to Honduras, carrying wood across a mountain, doing woodwork without electrical tools, having an anxiety attack, traveling internationally by myself.
Although they have been some of the hardest months of my life, they have been incredibly beautiful. I was able to create so many great friendships with some of the most amazing people. I was able to serve God in new communities and in different cultures. I made an amazing friendship in Guatemala with a girl who originally lives 4 hours from me, and she wants to know more about Jesus and what it looks like to have a relationship with Him. I was able to meet amazing people who are serving God in their own communities and are fully relying on Him to provide.
The Lord has shown me many things while being on this journey. He showed me how I can better love those who are different from me. He showed me my heart for the states and what He had originally called me to. He showed me that even in pain and turmoil, He is the author of peace. He showed me that even when my faith is lacking He is still good and loving and faithful.
Right now He is showing me that anxiety has no control if I set my minds on what is true and real, and He is Truth and constant. Right now He is showing me that it’s not about where you walk in life but how you walk. Right now He is showing me that I can trust in Him with all of life’s unexpected twists and turns.
I am home now and although I am sad I was unable to finish this specific race, I know that no matter where the race of life takes me God is faithful and present. Thank you so much to all of those who have been praying for me.
I ask that you continue to pray for physical healing. Please pray for my Squad and my team as they continue to serve in Honduras. Also I ask that you pray for me as I start this new and very unexpected journey.
The Lord has already revealed Himself in so many ways and I am excited to see how He shows Himself in this season.
Sweet girl, God has you right where he wants you. I’m in the season of learning it doesn’t always look like what we think too. It’s hard but like you I’m learning so much along the way. My prayer for you is that you heal physically and that you continue to seek Gods purpose for you each day. So proud of you for stepping out in faith and the impact you made on many. Big love ????
