First Steps into the Nations

It’s absolutely insane to think that literally 2 months ago I arrived in Colorado with not a clue to what God was going to do in me and through me. Life here has been so crazy. I’m certain when I say these past few months have consisted of some of the most exhausting, stressful, and challenging times of my life, but yet the most impactful, growing, and remarkably special times as well. During my time here in Colorado I’ve spent countless hours counting the cost of giving my all to the worthiness of Jesus, and if I’m being honest, the way I see the world and life 2 months ago compared to now is night and day. Counting the cost has led me to one place; the real authentic feet of Jesus, and when you see who Jesus really is all else become inferior. Every morning while I sit in the pray room at 6am exhausted and questioning why I'm here, I always look out the window at the Colorado mountains clothed in the dark from the night before and remind myself of one thing, Jesus is worthy.  He is worthy of my time, He is worthy of my loss of sleep, He is worthy of my adoration, He is worthy at all times, He is worthy of my life. I keep being brought back to why I came here in the first place, and I keep realizing more and more that giving myself fully to Him is the best decision I could ever make.

I leave in 1 days for the Himalayas and I cannot describe how excited I am. My team and I have a busy 2 months ahead of us with plans to visit neighboring nations, go on treks in the mountains to share the Gospel with villages that have never heard of Him before, prayer strikes, and many hours of evangelism and prayer. It’s an intimidating task ahead of us, but when thinking about the impossibility of everything we’ve been praying, God put a simple thought in my heart, ‘Why not?’ Why not see Him move in a crazy way? Why not see whole villages come to know Jesus? Heck, Why not see a whole nation that’s closed off completely to the Gospel be saved? This has been my prayer for my team and I. I want to do whatever the Lord wills and be obedient to Him, and I’m positive that though that He is going to do something amazing in my team, me, and even in the nations we visit.

I have no doubt that The Lord will move in unbelievable ways in the next few months, and I have full faith that even after these few months God is going to continue to move in ways unthinkable. He's even recently been giving plan and vision to me about the next step after outreach and dreams that, honestly, seem absolutely impossible and insane. I've recently been wondering how any of the dreams The Lord has been burning on my heart will actually come to pass, and been even asking Him if those desires are possible. Without fail though, He reminds me of the passion and persistence He's placed inside of me. In my doubt God is always whispering His strength to me. I honestly cannot wait to share more about these dreams, but I first want to pray into them more before telling anyone and everyone. There's something about holding close the passions and dreams you have, only to be shared with you and Him. I know that this isn’t just a season or just a normal 2 months for me, but the beginning of a lifetime of constantly surrendering my life at His feet and breaking my everything before Him.  This is all unto something so much greater than the Lord has for me. I don’t know what it is yet, but I’m positive it’s something incredible.
