Adventure. That's what LIFE with God is. Everyday no matter where you are choose to say YES! to the adventure. It's waking up to a day filled with new, yet perfectly planned, encounters. Whether it be the man you speak to at the gas station, celebrating a birth, chatting with a co-worker over lunch, or speaking to the librarian (shout out of all of you in school) He has purposed it all. The sunset, the soon to be autumn leaves, a snow capped mountain, or beautiful seas God uses ALL of it to lure you deeper into a personal adventure with Himself. Choose to say YES! to the Living God. He has good things for you.
Today I am saying YES! to a new adventure. I'm currently sitting in Miami waiting to board a plane to Port Au Prince, Haiti. I will be returning to a country and a people that I love. I have the beautiful opportunity to spend 7 weeks in Haiti! This longer than ever before. My heart is glad. My heart is thankful. My mind on the other hand, can't fathom what lies ahead. Praise you Lord that I don't know what is to come, but you do! Praise you that it is good and that through it I will be more transformed into your likeness! While in Haiti I will be living at a children's home. I get to become a part of a new family. As I depart, I ask for you prayers. Pray that I will receive MORE of Jesus. Pray for grace to transition into this home as the director will be leaving a couple of days after my arrival. Pray that the Kingdom will come in our home. Pray that God shows up in RADICAL ways. Pray that His name be glorified in all I say and do. Pray that the kids know how LOVED they are by their Creator King.
Thanks to all of you for supporting and encouraging my YES! Thank you especially to my parents for modeling for the what it means to take the Gospel to the nations and for nurturing my adventurous spirit! I am who I am today because of Jesus and y'all!
