Where do i even begin? i've felt so overwhelmed and rushed lately that i don't know what has even happened to me in the past three weeks. lets start with break... friday the 19th of december we had our 24/7 christmas banquet, which as loads of fun all the girls looks dazziling and the guys sharp as can be. when i got home from that i packed up my room getting ready for the re-serfacing the floors in our house. i left for wisconsin at 6am on saturday morning let me just say that drive was intense at the beginning me and melissa were both falling asleep basically while we were driving so we had to switch a little sooner than usual. then we had to check oil, good thing we did cause we were almost out and i guess that's like a bad thing or something.. at one point while i was a sleep it starting raining at as we got closer to home it started to snow!!! i was so excited to see snow, it just felt so good to be home again. and of course we get to about 10minutes away from my house and we go in the ditch, lets just say never a dull moment in my life. the rest of the break was pretty chill i tried to play in the snow as much as i could but it was pretty cold alot, i just hung out at home alot helped babysit cute babies and visit with friends that i hate being away from so bad.
anyways. as those two weeks flew by, i enjoyed them so much and hated them at the same time, that doesn't even make sense, but to me its completely clear. i loved being home and relaxing but at the same time i felt worthless not doing anything and just trying to not fall into old habits but as you're home its so difficult unless you're completely disciplined to god and his call on you're life. and so going from being trapped in old habits and coming back into the atmosphere of 24/7 it was a huge struggle for me. especially since i was so nervous and overwhelmed with the week of getting ready to go to mexico.
mexico is just around the corner. we leave on monday! im so excited about what God has been revealing to me now that its making it very difficult for me to wait to see what he will teach me in mexico. this whole week i've been hearing him tell me complete abandonment and holding nothing back, give it everything you got. yesterday during chapel i started reading ephesians 4 -here's what it says...
"as a prisoner for the Lord, then, i urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have recieved. be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. there is one body and one Spirit- just as you were called to one hope when you were called- one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. but to each of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it..."
..God is so awesome in his timing. i've been dealing with alot of mixed emotions excited one moment and the next scared out of my mind. but he works all things out for his glory. as a team we discussed how we wanted to be lead by the spirit, no matter what the cost we would go and do what the lord has told us to. we also said unity in the spirit being one with one another showing love and patience in every situation. this scripture talks about all those things! i am so excited to see what God will do in each and every one of our lives while we are in mexico expanding his kingdom in every possible way we can!
please be praying for me and my team as well as all of 24/7 god has a plan that none of us can even imagine right now.
i love you! i am unable to wait to talk to you all when i get back!! xoxo-
