It’s been a crazy ride. For those of you who have been around these last few months, it’s definitely been a season of surrender, but also one of receiving what the Lord has for me in Romania. As soon as there is one thing to surrender, there is something to receive. I can truly say, I feel like my relationship with the Lord has grown so much in the last couple weeks! All I can say is it’s been amazing, but so hard! I can’t even imagine what else is going to happen except for this…
1. Every need I have will be taken care of. I’m not worried about this anymore. My biggest fears with moving to Romania have been in terms to finances and getting all my medical stuff taken care of. Well within the last couple weeks, I can say yep, God’s going to do it! This past Monday, my friend literally gave me tons and tons of resources that I never knew existed in the Madison area! Seriously, I wish I could say I never freaked out or got anxious about this before, but now I know my health is going to be restored, because God is THE God of healing and restoration.
2. My God is everything to me! There are tons of people around me, but sometimes it feels like people do not understand what’s going on in my heart. I don’t say that to say I’m the only one who has dealt with these emotions and crazy roller coaster of a life, because I know I haven’t. Jesus also walked through this! But I feel like I can’t get enough of The Word! I have never been motivated to wake up and spend time in Scripture; I would always sleep in or sleep right up until 15 minutes before I needed to leave. And strangely enough, I feel like my life is maturing by spending even 20 minutes each morning reading! I feel like I have more joy and more peace. I will laugh at myself and I typically don’t do this! I would always beat myself up if someone didn’t laugh at one of my “jokes.”
3. An increased love for the country of Romania….ugh. Oh my gosh! I love it, but also hate it sometimes. Lol. I know the work the Lord has called me to isn’t one in vain. Since Training Camp in May, I keep hearing God say “I equip those I call and not call the equipped.” All I think about is Romania-my 5 senses are also more sensitive to anything about Romania! Whenever I hear someone speak Romanian, I get so excited! Whenever I meet someone for Romania, I almost cry. Lol. God knows I’m ready for Romania, but in His due time I will be there.
Yep, these are the things I know the Lord has for me! As hard as they sometimes are, I know the Lord is behind them and He’s better than anything else, so I will gladly receive what He has for me. 🙂
