A week of good news

I want to start out by saying that I’M FULLY FUNDED. God is so so good. I thought this goal was unreachable at some points, but now I’m there! While my page doesn’t show this yet, I have been blessed by god and so many of you, and the money will show up on this page soon. I am insanely grateful for each and every donation and could not be doing this journey without all of your guy’s generosity. This is such a powerful opportunity that I am so excited to be a part of, but tithing and a giving heart is just as powerful. All of you who have given to me, other racers, or any ministry are following God’s direction and it is so cool to see. You can know that God used you to make this happen, and now each and every one of you are along for my journey.

While that is the first good news of the week it is not the only good news of the week. So to tell the rest I’ll give you some context. I have been at the World Race Campus for about a week now. I’ve said goodbye to the family, and launched into this new life.This has been a super exciting experience as I prepare to go out and share the gospel. I felt strong in faith and ready to launch out into this new life. My excitement has not faded, but instead it has changed into not only excitement for those we will be ministering to, but also excitement for my squad mate’s faith and also for my own. This week was big for my own faith journey as I had a reality check into what is my purpose on the race. Where is my faith at? What does my faith journey look like? Praying over this and talking to my team leads and squad mates I really feel like god is clearing out layers in my heart to make more room for him. I’m being transformed and renewed into a better servant of Jesus. This has been so hard as I almost feel as though I’m going backwards. Not to mention I am not at all used to the heat, humidity, and rain. All while living in a tent and having something to do all day has been far from easy. So good, so powerful, so Godly, but far from easy.

Alright now you have some backstory on what has been happening. Now I have the good news. God is working in this place. I’m not overseas, I’m not at my home church, I’m in rural Georgia and I can see the holy spirit moving. I have seen broken bones healed, I’ve seen demons cast out of people. I have experienced crazier things than I ever could have imagined. It is so cool to have faith and see things play out. It’s so easy to doubt these miracles, to have a flesh based mindset. This is where I have been at, like Lord this couldn’t have been you, I’ve never seen this before. That isn’t what the word says though. In the New Testament there is clear evidence of the Lord doing these exact things. So I turned to the book of Acts.

Acts 2:19 – “I will show you wonders in heaven above and signs on earth below. Blood and fire, and billows of smoke.”

This has been so powerful to read through after seeing these things take place. This isn’t a different time than the “bible times” or anything to that affect. Those in the bible are God’s children and so are we. That is good news. God’s army is rising and we are here. We are here praising the Lord. Exulting his name. This week has been hard, and has nearly broken me at points, but has been filled with good news. So much good news.
