My first real “it would be nice to be home” thought came while lying in bed with dengue fever in a random hostel in the middle of San Jose, Costa Rica. The enemy loves to slyly sneak in when we are vulnerable or feeling down. So stay prayed up and suited up with the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-19).
A lot has been going on in the last 4 months. Too much to put into words. Too many thoughts to try to process. I know this blog was supposed to be a way to update you all more frequently and I apologize that I have not been keeping up with that. Here’s why, the reality is that it is very difficult for me to sit down and process everything happening on a daily basis. Days are long with ministry and nights are full with team time. And after that rest is vital to be able to get up and commit to doing it all again. I’ve always struggled to sit still and allow myself to feel and process, and to do that on this race I have to be extremely intentional with my time. And that is something I will commit to being better at and in turn will be posting more blogs 🙂
So here’s a little recap of the last 4 months.
I have experienced God’s presence in ways I never have before. I have seen God moving in ways I’ve never seen before. I’ve began to get a deeper understanding of who He is and who I am because of Him. I’ve witnessed people get healed, I have been healed. I’ve seen countless faces lighten, brighten, and have life brought back into them after being prayed for. I’ve seen people freed from bondage and have been freed from my own. I’ve seen hearts moved and lives changed from the gospel. And so much more.
It has been the greatest honor and privilege and blessing to have this opportunity. The deepest honor it is to be used by Him. A blessing to get to solely focus on God with no other priorities and distractions. A privilege to witness and experience all of the ways the Lord is moving ALL around the world. Y’all I didn’t even know I was putting God in a box in my brain and limiting Him until I got outside of my familiar parameters. I can reassure you that the Kingdom of God has no borders. That language is not a barrier that stops love from being shared.
The deeper and deeper I dive into dependence on the Lord the more and more I don’t want to go back to the ways I was living before. He continues to prove true to who He says He is; better than absolutely anything and everything that we can imagine.
God bless you all <3
Hey, Jamie! Wow! This is so beautiful! It’s good to get Him out of the box that we have put Him in. He is truly the God of the impossible! So glad that you are seeing Him move in such amazing ways. We love you so much Jamie. Can’t wait to see you in the DR!
