Colorado

Well.. I have returned to Colorado for STINT briefing for the next week. I'm excited but it is kind of weird not going to Greeley with the staff team. Lots of changes are happening in my heart and mind. Yesterday was crazy. Not only it was the longest day of my life but it's not everyday that you burst into tears multiple times at the Midway Airport. I think my heart is just unsettled and after spending some time with Jesus, I just desire His presence. What a good thing to desire huh? I feel like the last couple of weeks that I have abandoned my first love- God Himself. Yesterday was good to set me back on track. I'll update later in the week.

Reality

It's setting in. I have realized that raising support may take longer than I think. Honestly, I don't like the in between time like this. I want to be in Mexico. I'm built for ministry and sometimes it's hard to see where Jesus is while I wait and trust for Him to work. It's a good spot to be in--just another opportunity to trust Jesus.

When I step back and look at my experience of building my team thus far I am so encouraged. I'm so thankful for my team and how they love and take care of me. I sit here and know that the Lord has strategically placed them around me so I wouldn't be here alone.

Last night at church we talked about how we all have a position on the team. Whatever position it is, we need the other parts to operate the way God intented. The big question is: "Am I ready for the game?" Are my shoes on? Am I ready for the big game?

Pray with me as I prepare and seek the Lord to get me ready.
