Hey everyone! I am writing this blog from Gainesville, Georgia. I am back on the world race as a team leader and am spending these next 3 months walking alongside young believers. I want to first thank you all who have supported me through prayers and finances. It has been a continued blessing that I can’t thank you enough for. I hope these blogs reveal a glimpse of all the seeds you have sown through your support!
Jesus is calling:
As I have pursued God, and found my identity in Him, I have seen radical changes in my life. I have seen that He has truly given me a new life that is full of His goodness and walking in His presence. I have the opportunity to now disciple others in this beautiful walk!
The beautiful testimony of God’s love is reflected in each individual on this earth. That my new life in God is what God wants for all His children. So I am amazed by a simple, yet profound fact. Jesus is calling. In everyone’s life, Jesus is calling. Sometimes we let things get in the way. Fear. Control. Distraction. Comfort. Complacency. There are so many ways the enemy tries to hold us from God’s goodness. This has been such a sweet time to witness God’s goodness move amongst the lives of those around me. That no matter where a person is, God comes in with love and wants us to turn to Him. He is full of grace and mercy. His love is so great that He forgives through the cross, and He also comes in the Spirit to walk with us and refine us into our intended image! The reality is nothing can separate us from the love of Christ!
I have begun to witness the fruits of these young men and women saying yes. A year and a half ago I said yes. I said yes to God. And that is not just the world race. That is saying yes to God coming into my life. Not just a belief, but a full surrender to the life He has called me to live. That I want to live to glorify Him and make disciples of all nations!
Jesus is calling upon your life! He always is, no matter how deep we are in a relationship with Him. It is a daily call. It is a beautiful call. Sometimes we don’t know where to start. Maybe we question the character of God and if He is good. Or if He's real. If that is you reading this, I would love for you to reach out. There is a feeling in our deepest being of our heart that Jesus is calling. Something more. Something better. That we should run after this. Many obstacles hold us back, and it is a narrow road. But this life with God is our intended purpose! The word of God. The gospel story. It is truth. I can testify for myself, and from God’s heart for the individual, I know many others can testify too!
Romans 12:2
“Do not conform to the patterns of this world, but instead be transformed by renewing your mind.”
Thank you God for all your children. I pray your calling is heard by all your children. That those who know you deeply share your goodness, and those who don’t will find you. That any walls that hold us from you will be broken down in your love. That we can come to you and realize that you have always been there. In Jesus name, Amen.
