Summer’s Coming Early
This afternoon God told me that the winds are changing.
CGA is not coming to a close for me quite yet. I’m not leaving the country any time (too) soon. From the outside, no big changes are happening in my life in the near future. But the Lord says that I’m on the brink of a wild new season, and I’m so excited for what He has in store.
This past season (since returning from the Race and starting CGA) has been a time of brokenness and restoration. The Lord has walked me through some difficult places, brought healing in a lot of areas of my life, spoken Love and Truth over me about who I am as His son, revealed more of Himself to me, and simply held me as I’ve wrestled through it all.
Today, as I hung out in my hammock, looking out over the lake with Him, He made it clear that this next season won’t be so tender. He’s no longer holding my hand; he’s pushing me out of my comfort zone and into greatness.
This will be a season of refinement and empowerment.
It will be a season of taking what I’ve learned and walked through and learning how to effectively impart it to people who are hungry to receive it.
It will be a season of making sacrifices in my life in order to become the man I want to be.
It will be a season of trying, failing, trying again, failing again, and allowing the Lord to teach me through the process.
It’s going to be difficult and wild and thankless, but ultimately,
it’s going to mold myself and the people around me more into the likeness of Jesus…and therefore it’s going to be worth every hard thing it requires.
Seasons change, but God’s love remains through it all.
P.S. I truly believe that the Lord has all this and more in store for me this next semester here in Georgia, but I can’t continue on this summer if my fundraising support bar at the top of this page isn’t filled by next Monday, April 25th! Right now I’ve got $2,070, and my deadline is $3,950! Will you please consider partnering with what the Lord is doing in and through me and make a donation, share my blog, and pray for me and the support that I need to stay in CGA? Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you!!!
