it’s crazy to think i’m 8 months into this thing. it seems like yesterday i was headed to Colombia for month 1 but at the same time i feel like i’ve been doing this forever. 

just wanted to jump on here and give a little update to where I am and what the Lord has been teaching and showing me. 

we are currently in Thessaloniki, Greece. where we are doing a month of Unscripted ministry. Everyday we are expectant of the Lord to show up and show us what He wants for us the day. We have been able to meet so many people and partner with a couple different organizations here in Greece. We got in contact with a group that was holding a 32 hour prayer and intercession event for the city and for everything going on in the world currently. I was so encouraged by this group who are so on fire for Christ. Their prayers were intentional. They are praying for revival in the hearts of the people in Thessaloniki. 

To be able to join them in this time was such a blessing and encouragement to me. 

Personally, i think the Lord has been teaching me what It looks like to find comfort in Him. and wow has He taught me a lot. I believe the human instinct is to find my comfort in those around me, find my comfort in material things, find my comfort in validation. so finding my comfort in the Lord is something that hasn’t always been easy. But the Lord has been sweet to me. I have found so much comfort this month. From sweet time with the Lord. to notes from friends with just the right words. to knowing i have people who are praying for me all over the world. to sitting in silence but having a peace in knowing i’m not alone. to having people who are praying and have encouraging words for me when i tell them i’m stressing about what “life after the race looks like” . to being surrounded by the sweetest of friends here on the race who know me and know my heart. so many things this month have given me so much comfort in the Lord. 

meeting the Lord as comfort this month has been something so sweet. 

 

Less than 3 months until i hit American soil. 

 

all the emotions. 

 

prayers for what’s next for me would be appreciated. but ultimately i know i serve a good good Father and He has me in the palm of His hands and His plans are good.
