I just finished listening to Pastor Furtick's sermon, 'The Power of the Pull' and upon finishing the sermon, something in me caused me to grab my laptop and open this blog, something that I have not done for the past few months. Why have I not written? Because I have to a certain extent gotten caught up in the undulations of good days and bad days and the progress towards healing has been an arduous and painful one. Faith is no silly thing, and I have to remind myself on a daily basis that I live by faith, and not by emotions or sight.
Yesterday, some of the people who attended the Global Medical Missions Conference back in the fall met up at Lisa Werner's house and fellowshipped over a very global, very savory meal. As I worshipped and prayed with the group, something deep within my soul awoke and I was reminded that God has a dream for me that I can barely even begin to fathom. There is a certain population out there in the world that He has specifically created me to serve. I don't know what country and I don't know when, but I know that it is destined to happen and it's definitely been a source of hope during this season of life. Going back to the sermon, I was encouraged listening to it because Furtick talks about how God never pushes us; rather, in every season of life, he tugs on our hearts and pulls us closer to Him. Slowly, slowly He is pulling me into the dream He has for my life.
Some updates:
-I have started memorizing scripture and have found listening to sermons during my long runs incredibly refreshing/edifying.
-I applied to RUSH school of nursing and should be hearing back regarding whether or not I got accepted by this Friday.
-I am leaving for Europe next month to see my mentor at YWAM Lausanne - I'll be there for a good 18 days and I think we're going to be traveling to Italy, Germany, and the Czech Republic.
