TODAY IS THE DAY

Sep. 2, 2020
oh my goodness!! today is the day we have all been waiting for! and I cannot believe it is finally here… since October of last year, I have been preparing for this very moment. spiritually and emotionally! and I am just soooo blessed to be called to world race and serve alongside such an amazing group! and wow… I meet them in literally 2 hours from now!! how crazy!!!
currently, I am on my flight to Atlanta, GA and I couldn’t be more nervous. I have never flown by myself before and honestly I’m so excited/nervous about all of this coming into play, that I almost threw up! ha but praise God that didn’t happen! also, I’m sitting next to this very sweet lady that fell asleep in 2 min while I’m over here jamming to my worship playlist, watching all the pretty clouds, & writing down everything that I’m feeling! and wow my emotions are just all over the place if you can’t tell!
but today I really just wanted to document this particular day and the week before. how I’ve been feeling, what God’s been doing, and more! so here we go!!
this past week came with lots of fears, lots of tears, many goodbyes, some anxiety, but so much goodness and clarity from God. as each day passed I saw how much God was moving in the people around me. how He was working on not just my heart and spiritual walk with Him, but in my friends as well. I have been praying for so long over my close friends that they would hear God and feel Him more, to feel led to pray often, live for Him, learn, and ultimately know and grow close to Him. and wow… I love love love to see God in action!! one night, I was just crying to two of my close friends about something weighing heavy on my heart, & one of them said hey let’s just all pray about it.. and hearing each of them pray and letting the spirit of God move in them like never before just made me SO EXCITED!!! I couldn’t help but cry even more I was just so so happy to see God work!! another way God was moving was when some of my other friends said they wanted to start going to church again, and GUYS!!! I love love love this!!! the power of prayer am I right?!
but what opened my eyes up mostly is when I was able to see God work through my family. I had been praying for so long that a certain member in my family would really trust God in what’s He is doing in their lives right now and ultimately trust Him even when it seems like it won’t ever get better. having that one on one time with that individual really opened their eyes and gave them hope even in all of the uncertainty which was so beautiful!!
but as I began to spend my last few days with everyone I couldn’t help but just give God so much praise. I couldn’t help but fall to my knees and cry because I am so grateful for God bringing in so many sweet people into my life. people who would cheer me on, who would make me laugh, help me be better everyday, help me on my faith walk, and so much more. and wow I am just so excited to come back and see what else God will be doing in them!:)
okie dokie tho!!! I love all of you so much and am super pumped to be writing every single day on this blog!! whether it be funny, serious, long, short, or just anything God puts on my heart! He is doing so much right now and I am just overwhelmed by His love and presence on flight 1628!!! haha! but landing soon so I’ll see y’all in GA!
blessing, lots of love, and hopefully food soon!!
