I am trying to contain my excitement...
After being home from Australia for a year & a half - I hope that my next adventure is just around the corner.
Hillsong has been the highlight of my life thus far... It completely changed me. I was challenged & transformed, both by people, and experiences. But I didn't realize that my time back in the US these past 18 months would be even more challenging. I never questioned God's goodness, or his plan for my life... I was just wondering when my "layover" would be over. That's all my time here was. Just a "layover".
I've spent so many sleepless nights questioning my desires for leaving... wondering whether I was confusing God's will with my own... but then I got IT!
And I finally understand WHY I was put here. My dear friends and I have been in the middle of a majour spiritual battle this past year. Hearts have been broken, life's have been crushed, friendship have been torn apart, and every single one of us has been challenged in our faith. Yet we stayed strong, and clung to Jesus.
People could have strayed from the Lord, people could have let the pain overtake them, people could have let anger consume their lives... but God was gracious.
So, here we are in the aftermath of intense spiritual darkness... stronger.
I love the Lord's promise in Hebrews 13:5:
And now here I am... Entering what could possibly be my next life-changing adventure - and I'm at peace about it. Yes, I have my moments of being anxious - especially considering the spiritual darkness that I will voluntarily be waltzing into. But I know if this works - it's God's will. And if it doesn't work - it's God's will.
I hope to be able to share with you all what this adventure is SOON!
And - given that this will be an adventure (hint: a passport & visa is required!), I shall be updating this blog more often with pictures, stories and, yes, coffee shop adventures.
The Lord is SO good!!
